Description
Karyn Robinson, Gilbert, Arizona
The agave plant is a landscaping staple in the southwest and they can be enormous. The plant is set against a blazing orange background and has leaves of soft bluish green and brilliant purple.
Agave americana, common names century plant, maguey or American aloe, is a species of flowering plant in the family Agavaceae, originally native to Mexico, Arizona and Texas but cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant. It has become naturalized in many regions including the West Indies, parts of South America, the Mediterranean Basin, parts of Africa, India, China, Korea, Thailand, New Zealand, Australia and an assortment of oceanic islands.
Despite the common name "American aloe", it is not closely related to plants in the genus Aloe
