Agave americana (Century Plant) is an iconic succulent renowned for its dramatic rosettes of large, grey green leaves with bold spines along the edges. Known as the Century Plant due to its slow growth and eventual flowering after many years, it creates a powerful architectural statement in NZ gardens. Hardy and drought tolerant, Agave americana (Century Plant) thrives in hot, dry conditions and requires very little maintenance, making it a favourite for bold landscapes.
