Cacti and Succulents spotlight
century plant
This century plant is an impressive xeric species from western New Mexico and eastern Arizona. It is one of the most cold hardy of the Agave family. Forming large, heavily, toothed rosettes, the sword-like leaves are blue-green. When the plant decides to bloom (after 15-20 years of slow growth), it sends up a huge 12-15' flowering spike that will attract hummingbirds from miles around. Shipped in a 2 1/2 inch pot. Because this plant needs longer periods of warm weather to establish its roots properly, it is not recommended for fall planting in Zones 3-7. -- edited by dtd pbcouchman
