Agave funkiana 'Hakuro Shiro Fukurin' (Hakuro Shiro Fukurin Century Plant)

SunZone: 8-10, guessing 18" tall Origin: Mexico

(syn: Agave lophantha 'Marginata') We originally acquired this rare selection from Thailand as an Agave lophantha, which it is obviously not...we're betting on A. funkiana. The 18" long x 1" wide upright shallowly grooved leaves are dark green and edged with a dramatic wide white border. The few scattered teeth along the leaf edges turn papery and fall away as the leaves age. A. 'Hakuro Shiro Fukurin' (translated as "frosty white margin") makes a stunning 18" tall x 3' wide clump. We lost this in the garden at 9 degrees F on trial #1, so we're listing it as a Zone 8 plant until we kill more. These are slow growers in containers. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
