Agave americana

Agave americana is a bold, sculptural succulent that commands attention in any setting. This iconic plant forms a large, rosette-shaped mass of arching, blue-green leaves with sharp teeth along the edges and a formidable terminal spine. Its foliage often reaches up to 1.5–2 meters long, creating a dramatic fountain-like effect. The surface of each leaf has a powdery, glaucous coating that gives it a soft, silvery appearance under the sun.

Gardeners admire Agave americana not only for its massive size but also for its architectural symmetry. Over the years, it matures into a commanding specimen that can anchor desert gardens or modern landscapes. It may take several years or even decades to bloom, but when it does, it sends up a towering flower stalk reaching 5–8 meters, studded with clusters of yellow blossoms that attract pollinators. After flowering, the main rosette dies, but numerous offsets or "pups" continue the legacy.

• Stunning blue-grey leaves with serrated edges and sharp tips

• Iconic rosette form perfect for dry, open spaces

• Produces dramatic, tall flower spikes after many years

• Low maintenance once established in well-draining soil

Whether grown in the ground or large containers, Agave americana brings a timeless desert aesthetic to your space. Its striking silhouette and ability to thrive in harsh conditions make it a favorite among collectors, designers, and water-wise gardeners worldwide.
