Notes
'Variegata' spineless jade agave (Agave demeesteriana 'Variegata') is a succulent for borders, containers, and xeriscapes. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This evergreen reaches 24 to 36 inches tall and spreads 35 to 47 inches wide.
Pairs well with Narrow-leaf chalksticks, Stonecrop, and Snow in summer.
