Agave sisalana mediopicta is a medium sized widely suckering agave to 4 to 6 feet tall by 6 to 7 feet wide with long stiff narrow white to very pale green leaves with grey-green spineless margins and armed at the tip with a 1-inch terminal spine.
Older plants can have a short stem and occasionally a leaf might display a yellow stripe. At maturity, flower stalks rise 15 to 20 feet tall. Plant in full to part sun and water occasionally to infrequently – tolerates dry conditions but grows faster and larger with more regular irrigation.
