Variegated Agave Lophantha introduces an extra layer of charm with its striking blend of green and cream-colored leaves. They typically have a gray-green base color with creamy-yellow to pale yellow stripes running along the length of each leaf. The leaf margins may also exhibit reddish-brown or maroon coloring, especially when exposed to bright sunlight.
