AGAVACEAEAgave

A true badge of plant masculinity.

Intense, rugged, and undeniably cool. The larger ones can reach several meters, giving off a dragon-like aura. It blooms only once and then dies, but the wait takes 30 to 50 years—an irresistible romance for plant enthusiasts. It is also the source of tequila, which makes for fun trivia. Native to the drylands from Texas through Mexico, it is remarkably tough and handles year-round rain with ease. The only thing it cannot tolerate is lack of sunlight.

You can search for photos, care methods, and flower images of Agave.
