Agave titanota ‘White Ice’
Family: Asparagaceae (Agavoideae)
Common Name: White Ice Titanota

Description:
Agave titanota ‘White Ice’ is a striking and uncommon form of the species, chosen for its frosty white foliage and bold contrast. The thick, tightly packed leaves exhibit ghostly blue-white tones accented by dramatic black spines and vivid bud imprints on the reverse—giving the rosette a sculptural, ice-edged appearance. Compact yet powerful, this titanota variant brings high drama to patios, rock gardens, and refined succulent collections.

More symmetrical and color-forward than most wild-type titanotas, ‘White Ice’ delivers a clean form with minimal offsets and slow, steady growth. It’s a standout feature plant for collectors and designers alike—visually impactful even at smaller sizes.
