Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor'
Q02-21 — Zone 8b to 10— Garden origin
Kaleidoscope Agave! This variegated dwarf agave is so beautiful that it is nearly impossible to offer. When people see it they just can't say no. The cultivar name 'Quadricolor' is only partially descriptive because the leaves can have a multitude of colors depending on the time of year. Normally the leaves are a combination of olive-green, dark-green and cream and are lined with a row of fine teeth that when young are a rich amber, aging to black, then ultimately to grey. If that were not enough under drought and cold the leaves can flush shades of pink to red. So ultimately four colors would not be enough to properly describe the cultivar.
