Photo of Agave Ray of Light (Agave cactus)

Agave attenuata Ray of Light - A beautiful variegated selection with a fine white variegation along the pale green leaf margin. This plant hwill grow as large as the species which eventually will mass up to 4 to 5 feet tall by about twice as wide with individual rosettes that may reach 4 feet wide on stout curving smooth gray stems that rise up to 4 feet tall. The wide pale green pliable leaves emerge from a tight central spear to arch gracefully back, looking a bit like a large open green flower and provide a nice foil to the white margins . Mature plants send up a 5 to 10 foot vertical flower stalk that reflexes back towards the ground before arching upward again. Family: Agavaceae
