Agave desmettiana v. marginata Size:8-inch pot mostly the result of someone’sA handsome 'tame' species of Agave, toothless, except for the terminal spine. The leaves are wide and upright in a handsome rosette, gray green with a fairly bold stripe of yellowish white on the margin. This species makes a great landscape specimen because of its shape, color, adaptability and ease of care. It also makes a fine container specimen.
