The century plant, or Agave americana, typically blooms once in its lifetime, which can take anywhere from 10 to 30 years to occur. After flowering, the plant will die, as it is monocarpic, meaning it only reproduces once. The bloom is characterized by a tall flower stalk that can reach up to 30 feet. Once it flowers, the plant’s energy is directed toward producing seeds and then it will ultimately perish.
