🌵 Agave ‘Quadricolor’
Colorful Variegated Agave with Compact Rosette
Agave ‘Quadricolor’ is a striking ornamental agave prized for its bold variegation and compact, architectural form. Each upright leaf displays dramatic striping in shades of green, creamy yellow, and warm golden tones, often accented with subtle reddish margins. The result is a visually dynamic rosette that brings vibrant color and structure to low‑water landscapes.
Perfect for water‑wise landscapes, Agave ‘Quadricolor’ combines eye‑catching foliage with excellent drought tolerance. Its moderate size and upright habit make it ideal as a focal point in modern gardens, accent plantings, containers, and Mediterranean‑style designs.
