Menacing serrations and variegated foliage make Agave xylonacantha 'Frostbite' a memorable and extremely desirable succulent
Description:
This impressive variegated Agave xylonacantha has creamy white to light yellow margins and mid green centres. The large spines give 'Frostbite' a decidedly serrated look.
