Agave Desmetianna Varigata (Variegated Smooth Agave) Agave ‘Golden Moments’ 22 T x 26 W Agave desmetiana ‘Variegata’ - This is a medium sized upright agave that forms an upright urn-shaped rosette with 3 foot long by 4 inch wide leaves terminating in sharp reddish-brown spines. The leaves are bright green with yellow variegation along the margins. Spines are minute or nonexistent along the margins. It is quick growing & often produces many offsets. Plant in full sun. Drought tolerant. Hardy to around 25o F & a little lower for short durations - we have heard from a grower in Austin, Texas who noted that they had leaf damage after 2 nights with temperatures down to 25o F for several hours. This plant is called Agave ‘Golden Moments’ in Australia. The specific epithet honors Louis De Smet (1813-1887), a Belgian horticulturist & nurseryman - this is sometimes misspelled as desmettiana.
