Furcraea Selloa Marginata

Design with this plant

Overview

Variegated False Agave (Furcraea selloa 'Marginata') is an evergreen perennial with striking, sword-shaped leaves up to 4-6 feet long, edged in creamy yellow. This rosette-forming plant provides a dramatic, tropical effect and is drought-tolerant once established. Preferring full sun to partial shade, it requires well-draining soil. Hardy in USDA zones 8-11, it's ideal for xeriscaping and focal points in low-maintenance gardens. Spacing: 6-8 feet apart.
