 Key Features & Benefits

 Compact Size, Big Visual Impact

Agave lophantha ‘Quadricolor’ typically reaches 1–2 feet tall and spreads 2–3 feet wide, making it an ideal choice for small gardens, rockeries, patio containers, or succulent arrangements. The bold green-and-yellow variegation adds year-round color and contrast, turning even the simplest spaces into eye-catching displays.

 Excellent Cold Tolerance

This variety is hardier than many agaves, tolerating temperatures down to 15°F for short periods. While it’s best to protect the plant from prolonged freezes, its resilience makes it suitable for USDA zones 8b–11, where it thrives in both warm and cooler desert climates.

 Low Maintenance & Water-Wise

Like most agaves, ‘Quadricolor’ thrives in dry, well-drained soil with minimal water requirements once established. It’s a fantastic choice for xeriscaping, low-water gardens, and busy gardeners who want maximum impact with minimal effort. Its tidy, symmetrical rosette requires no pruning, and pests rarely bother it.

 Ideal Landscaping & Container Uses

• Container Gardening – Perfect for patios, balconies, and entryways. Its compact form makes it easy to move and display.

• Rock Gardens & Xeriscapes – Adds vibrant color and architectural structure to low-water landscapes.

• Accent Planting – Use it as a standalone focal point or pair it with complementary succulents and cacti for layered, textural appeal.
