Re: white agave
without the pic, it sounds like it could be "medio picta"

Re: white agave
If medio picta then less hardy, much smaller but more beautiful.

Re: white agave
This is a picture of my medio picta from last summer.I overwintered it in my unheated polytunnel,It now looks horrible .We use the polytunnel to dry washing in winter,I think this caused condensation to drip on the agave,it then got some sort of fungal infection.A bit late in the day I sprayed it with bordeaux mix and moved into the house,which stopped the rot.It is slowly growing out the damage,I think it will be a couple of years before it looks as nice again.Be careful of slug/snail attacks.
