Re: what is this plant

Hi @cc1002,

 

I'm going with a variegated Agave desmettiana. It appears very similar to an Agave desmettiana which has those distinctive yellow-striped leaves and no thorns. However, the leaves are fairly thin and strappy, so I'm leaning towards a variegation.

 

Let me mention @Noelle, one of our gardening experts, to see if she has any thoughts.

See something interesting? Give it the thumbs up!

Re: what is this plant

I would agree with Mitchell, @cc1002 .  It certainly bears a striking resemblance to Agave desmettiana Variegata.  There will always be minor variations in form between plants bearing the same name, so your plant having slightly narrower leaves than photos of other plants is no obstacle to it being the aforementioned agave.
