Agave guiengola 'Medio picta' - A nicely variegated form of the large Guiengola Agave has the same large open rosettes of thick leaves of the species but with a broad central cream colored band surrounded by the gray-green leaf margins. Plant in full sun to light shade and irrigate only occasionally in coastal gardens (seems to suffer from edema from over watering) to regularly in hotter inland gardens where some shade is recommended. Protect from temperatures below 25 degrees F to avoid disfiguring the foliage. This is a dramatic plant for large containers or planted in a nice spot in the succulent garden. For more information on this species, see our listing for Agave guiengola. This plant came to us in 2012 from succulent collector and grower Tony Krock.
This information about Agave guiengola 'Medio Picta' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
