American Agave ‘Agave Americana’
Agave americana is a prominent succulent that types huge eye-catching rosettes of grey-green to blue-green leaves. Each rosette matures to 6 feet (1.8 m) high and also approximately 10 feet (3 m) in diameter. Leaves are up to 5 feet (1.5 m) long as well as have a ceraceous blossom, directed tip and sharp marginal backs. In spite of its common name, “Century Plant”, it usually lives in between 10 and three decades. Near completion of its life, the rosettes send up a stout blooming stalk, branched near the top and as much as 30 feet (9 m) tall. Blossoms are yellow or greenish-yellow, as much as 4 inches (10 centimeters) long, as well as take place in panicles at the branch ends. Rosettes pass away after flowering but create offsets around the base, usually developing a swarm of brand-new plants.
