Blue Agave 'Century Plant'

Agave americana is a striking evergreen succulent known for its large, blue-green, lily-like foliage and dramatic bloom spike that can reach heights of 12-25 feet. This iconic plant is often used as a focal point in landscapes or as a potted accent away from foot traffic. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade, and its xeric qualities make it highly drought-tolerant. The plant is attractive to hummingbirds and other wildlife, providing nectar, seeds, and protective habitat.
