Description
This plant is in Cayce, SC, on Lorick St. It is about 20' tall. This is the top blossom.
Captured 7-17-17. The century plant, Agave americana, is monocarpic, meaning it will bloom once in its lifetime. That bloom may not appear for 10, 20 or more years, depending on the climate. Many species in the genus Agave flower just once, although there are a few that are repeat bloomers.
The name “century plant” comes from the fact that the slow-growing plant takes years — although not 100 — to flower.
