Agave guiengola Cream Custard 3b where it grows in dry(aka: Agave guiengola 'Mediopicta') We originally acquired this century plant in 2007 from Thailand under the invalid name of Agave guiengola 'Mediopicta'. The thick, fleshy, non spiny leaves are creamy white with a wide blue green border. Agave 'Cream Custard' makes an outstanding container plant where it isn't winter hardy, forming a 1' tall x 2' wide specimen in 5 years. Because of the large amount white in the leaves, the growth rate is slow.
