Agave is a succulent plant with a large rosette of thick fleshy leaves. The leaves have spiny margins and end in a sharp point. The stem is short and stout.
Each rosette is monocarpic and grows slowly and flowers only once. During flowering a tall stem called the mast grows out from the center of the rosette and bears many short tubular flowers.
After flowering the original plant dies. Suckers are produced from the base of the stem that becomes new plants.
Blue agaves growing in the volcanic soils of Southern Mexico are used to make Agave Nectar.
