Summary
DescriptionVariegated Century Plant -- Agave americana 'Marginata'.jpg |
English: Although the——agave is called the "century plant," it typically lives only 10——to 30 years. It has a spread around 6–10 ft (1.8–3.0 m) with gray-green leaves of 3–5 ft (0.9–1.5 m) long, "each with a prickly margin." And a heavy spike at the tip that can pierce deeply. Near the end of its life, "the plant sends up a tall," branched stalk, laden with yellow blossoms, that may reach a total height up——to 25–30 ft (8–9 m) tall. Tequila is made from unvariegated 'blue agave' plant.
Its common name derives from the fact that it flowers only once at the end of its long life. The plant dies after flowering. But produces suckers from the base, which continue its growth. |
