We believe this to be an Agave Americana mediopicta alba, aka Variegated Agave, commonly known as a Century Plant. It is a beautiful desert dwelling flowering succulent that produces a tall tree-like stalk with fluffs of bright yellow blooms. It truly resembles an illustration straight out of a Dr. Seuss story! Despite the name, it usually only takes about 10 years for a mature plant to flower and once it does it will die. But don't worry, it's typically grown many pups in the years prior and you'll have plenty of agave to live on! Perfect for xeriscaping and drought tolerant areas. It's definitely a standout in any garden!

Grown outdoors in Glendale, Arizona. Some plants and cactus may have small flaws, missing spines, imperfections, cosmetic damage or scars. These blemishes don't harm the plant and only add to their unique character! We do our best to capture these in our photos so you know exactly what you’re getting, but no person (or plant!) is perfect :)
As with all new plants you add to your collection, please take care to keep your new plant baby separated for a week or so and be on the lookout for any unwanted pests or infections. We do our best to ensure this is not an issue, but caution is always recommended.
