Agave americana, also known as the Century Plant, will only bloom ONCE in its lifetime. But, oh, what a bloom!
The spectacular flower stalk towers above the plant, reaching an astonishing height (as much as 30 feet high). [2b] And, incredibly, the gorgeous display of yellow-green flowers [2c] will be pollinated by bees, bats, moths… and even hummingbirds! [3a]
Horticulturists call the agave’s dramatic bloom a Death Bloom [1a]. Because once the plant blooms, it will quickly decline. [1b, 2a]
