Agave Americana Blue Century Plant 1 Bare Root Succulent Plant

This is a single 2-8 inch bare root agave Century pup that was grown in the USDA hardiness Zone 8 of Central Texas. The plant will eventually reach the full size of a Century plant, measuring approximately 5 feet wide by 5 feet tall. Its blooms can grow as tall as 15 feet. The Century plant is an easy keeper, requiring full sun and well-draining soil to thrive.

The Century plant is well-suited to the local climate, as it can withstand the intense 100-degree heat and survive short periods of freezing temperatures. In fact, all of the Century plants in the author's possession managed to survive the severe deep freeze that Texas experienced in 2021, where temperatures dropped below zero for multiple days and were accompanied by snow cover. This demonstrates the remarkable hardiness of the Century plant.

While the Century plant can be grown in a container, it is important to note that it will not perform as well when kept indoors for an extended period. The plant truly excels when planted directly in the ground, where it can reach its full potential.

In summary, this bare root agave Century pup is a resilient and adaptable plant that can thrive in the challenging climate of Central Texas. Its impressive size, towering blooms, and ability to withstand extreme weather conditions make it a valuable addition to any garden or landscape. Whether planted in the ground or grown in a container, the Century plant is an easy keeper that requires full sun and well-draining soil to flourish.
