Agave Plant In Full Bloom On Sierra Vista In White Rock
An agave plant in full bloom Saturday afternoon at a residence on Sierra Vista in White Rock. Agave plants are succulents with large leaves that end in pointy tips. Agaves have more than 250 species in the agave genus. Large specimens can grow to 10 feet or more in height and width, and smaller species can be dish-sized. A few agave species have soft leaves and no spines. Agave grows best in rocky, sandy, well-drained soil in full sun. It can take several years or even decades for agave plants to mature, and they can live for many decades overall. The plant only blooms once, then dies. Source: thespruce.com Read More
