Description
Agave
Agave is a genus of succulent plants native to hot, arid regions of the Americas, particularly Mexico and the southwestern United States. Known for their bold, architectural form, agaves have thick, fleshy, spiny-edged leaves arranged in a rosette pattern. They vary greatly in size—from small, container-friendly types to massive species reaching several feet across.
Agaves are highly drought-tolerant and thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them ideal for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and desert landscapes. Most agave species are monocarpic, meaning they flower once—producing a tall, dramatic flower spike—then die, though this process can take many years.
Some agave species are used commercially to produce agave syrup and tequila (from Agave tequilana).
