Agave americana
Family: Asparagaceae
Common Name: Century Plant
Origin: Mexico and the Southwestern U.S.
Description:
A true icon of drought-tolerant landscaping, *Agave americana* forms massive rosettes of thick, blue-green leaves edged with sharp teeth and tipped with a powerful terminal spine. Its striking architectural form can grow up to 6 feet tall and 10 feet wide, making it a dramatic centerpiece in arid gardens.
Despite its nickname “Century Plant,” it typically blooms in 10–25 years, sending up a towering 20–30 ft. flower spike before dying—leaving behind abundant offsets to continue its legacy.
