Agave americana, commonly known as the century plant, is a succulent perennial native to Mexico and the southwestern United States. It is known for its large, rosette-forming leaves with spiny margins and a tall flowering stalk that can reach up to 8 meters. The plant typically flowers once after many years and then dies, a process known as monocarpic. It thrives in seasonally dry tropical climates and is well-adapted to arid conditions.
