Variegated Agave Americana live Plant babyplant

Agave Americana Bear Root only 5" tall,  full size not available.

Description. Agave americana is known as century plant but it typically only lives between 10 and 30 years. It can grow 1-2 m high and 2-4 m across.

Any agave can be grown in a container, but the smaller varieties are the most popular. Agave plants love to be root bound, so growing them in pots make these plants excellent candidates for houseplants. All container grown agave pants need a soil that dries slowly but drains quickly.

Agave americana is a popular succulent that forms large attractive stemless or short-stemmed rosettes of grey-green to blue-green leaves with a waxy bloom, sharp marginal spines, and tipped with a dark brown spine.
