Agave Bloom Watch


This Agave Plant (and 3 others like it) are growing in the median of the street entrance to our subdivision. About 3 weeks ago, the center stalk started growing at a fast rate. I'd guess about 5 foot per week. I'm watching and anxiously waiting for the blooms to appear. I have read that these plants, sometime called century plants, bloom at about 10 years of age and then die. Our subdivision was built about 10+ years ago. I'll update any progress that I see.
