About This Product
Botanical Name: Agave desmettiana 'Gold Rush'
Common Name: Gold Rush Smooth Agave
A bold, evergreen succulent forming a broad, architectural rosette, Agave desmettiana ‘Gold Rush’ is prized for its bright variegation and relatively soft, user-friendly form. Smooth, spineless leaves feature a vibrant golden-yellow center with green margins, creating strong contrast and year-round color. This faster-growing agave performs well in full sun to partial sun, developing its best color with ample light, and thrives in well-drained soils with occasional deep watering once established. An excellent choice for containers, mass plantings, or as a focal point in low-water landscapes.
