Plant Description

The Agave tequilana, commonly known as blue agave, is a striking succulent native to Mexico. This plant boasts fleshy, lance-shaped leaves that grow in a dense rosette and display a bluish-silver hue. Its upright form reaches heights of up to 2 meters, with sharp spines at the leaf tips adding a dramatic appearance. Renowned for its role in producing tequila, blue agave flowers only once in its lifetime, showcasing towering, yellow-infused flower stalks before it perishes, leaving behind offsets for propagation.
