Agave celsii 'Multicolor'
Variegated Agave celsii
When I first saw this variegate at a nursery in Thailand, I was not certain what species it was. It was so stunning, that I temporarily drew an identification blank. When someone told me it was A. celsii, I felt a bit embarrassed but the embarrassment soon faded and a feeling of admiration took over. The succulent leaves have a broad, medium-green central zone flanked by creamy-white edges. The margins of the leaves are also lined with a row of evenly spaced, black teeth, which perfectly frame the already stunning effect of the bi-colored leaves. Note: Cool weather can bring on a reddish tinge to the leaves thus making the name 'Multicolor' valid.
