A mesmerizing collector’s agave featuring creamy-yellow variegation and elegant, arching leaves that create a fountain-like shape.
Agave desmettiana ‘Joe Hoak’ is widely considered one of the most beautiful agaves, distinguished by its pale grey-green leaves striped with soft cream and yellow. The foliage is gracefully recurved and pliable, giving the plant a soft, architectural appearance compared to stiffer species.
The leaf margins are generally smooth with tiny teeth and a reddish terminal spine, making it safer to handle. Buy this rare variegated agave online to add a bright, sophisticated focal point to your garden or patio collection.
