Agave titanota Sunburst Spain then flatten with ageAgave titanota 'Sunburst' is an amazing sport that occurred at Plant Delights Nursery on Agave titanota 'Solar Eclipse'. In early spring, the entire central core of Agave titanota 'Sunburst' turns bright creamy gold. For us the color holds well until late summer, when it eventually fades to all green. In areas without frost, or if you have a large enough pot, expect an 18" tall x 30" wide specimen.
