Altman Plants lophantha Quadricolor Agave Plant, Exotic Succulent, Live Plant Decor

Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor', also known as the quadricolor century plant, is a strikingly attractive variegated agave that dazzles with its display of four great shades on its lance-shaped leaves. The leaves are dark green, edged with yellow, and feature a pale to lime green midstripe, all of which are highlighted by dark reddish teeth. This unique combination of colors makes the plant quadrupley eye-catching.

As part of the Altman Reserve Plant Collection, this agave makes a terrific, low-maintenance, high-impact specimen for a patio container or landscape in Zones 8 and warmer. The plant arrives fully rooted in a 5" drop-in concrete pot that complements a wide range of home and patio decors.

With its impressively deep color palette, Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor' pairs beautifully with countless succulents and non-succulent plants, making it a dream plant for a garden designer. Even though the plant stays relatively small, up to 2 feet wide, it can be easily maintained by removing pups as they appear to control the desired spread.

To bring out the most dramatic color combination, the plant requires direct sunlight, along with just the right amount of water (or drought stress). In hot climates, it will appreciate more filtered light and afternoon shade, as too much intense sun can cause the colors to fade. In general, the plant looks best with regular watering during the hottest weather, though too much irrigation can affect the variegation.

Agave lophantha 'Quadricolor' is the epitome of elegance in terms of live house plants, cacti, and succulent plants. As part of the rare plant collection, this unique, real plant arrives ready to display, making it the perfect choice for both houseplant beginners and experienced plant lovers alike.

Growing this botanical gem is easy, as it requires similar light and water requirements as other easy plants, like many popular succulents and cacti. These unique house plants are not only delightful plant lover gifts but also an excellent opportunity to expand your collection of indoor house plants with flair.

Altman Plants, a family-owned and operated business since 1975, is now the largest breeder and grower of succulents and cacti in the world, offering an extensive collection of living treasures online and in stores nationwide.
