Agave lophantha 'Candida' is a 2026 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction of a plant we first discovered in 2012 as a streaked sport of Agave 'Splendida'. We were eventually able to stabilize it to a dual margin plant, consisting of a wide creamy edge, alongside a narrower light green interior border. Because of the large amount of variegation, this is a very slow-growing plant, which is why it's taken us fourteen years to have enough to finally share. Our original specimen has matured at 1' tall x 16" wide.
