Agave Americana: Century Plant/Aloe
Native to Mexico and Texas, The Century Plant is cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant. Contrary to its name, it usually only lives from 10-30 years. It can grow to spreads of 6-10 feet and heights of up to 5ft; it also features incredible, surreal looking tufted blooms that can climb to heights of 26 ft. It can regularly be seen in desert or beach gardens. Agave Americana has many uses; it is the source of alcoholic drinks such as pulque, tequila, and mezcal. The leaves also yield fibers often used by indigenous tribes to make rope and cloth.
