Agave Attenuata Kara's Stripes

Agave attenuata ‘Kara’s Stripes’ – Bold Variegation Meets Sculptural Grace

Agave attenuata ‘Kara’s Stripes’ is a stunning variegated cultivar of the beloved Foxtail Agave, prized for its elegant rosette form and striking coloration. This eye-catching succulent features broad, fleshy leaves in soft green, dramatically edged with creamy white or pale yellow stripes. Each leaf gently curves, forming a symmetrical, sculptural rosette that adds instant sophistication to any landscape or container setting.

Unlike many agaves, ‘Kara’s Stripes’ lacks harsh spines, making it a more user-friendly option for gardens, patios, or even large indoor planters. Mature plants may produce an impressive flower spike reaching up to 3 meters tall, adorned with soft yellow-green blooms. Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, this cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil.

Key Features:

• Vibrant Variegation: Cream to white stripes highlight each soft green leaf, offering bold contrast and brightness.

• Sculptural Appeal: Forms a large, graceful rosette up to 1.2m wide—ideal as a focal point.

• Low Maintenance: Drought-resistant and tolerant of light frost once established.

• Non-Spiny: Smooth leaf edges make it safer for high-traffic areas and family gardens.

• Versatile Use: Perfect for rock gardens, borders, modern landscapes, and large containers.

Agave attenuata ‘Kara’s Stripes’ brings both drama and elegance to dry gardens and tropical designs alike. Whether planted en masse or featured solo, its refined form and vivid color ensure year-round interest with minimal effort.
