The Nation's Most Drought Tolerant Plant
Why Century Plants?
Century Plants first originated in dry areas of Mexico and are now becoming popular all over America. Why? Well, for starters, they will adapt to dry, sandy soils and thrive in drought, extreme heat, and humidity with ease.
And no matter your soil - from sandy to rocky - the Century Plant will adapt without fuss and bring unique beauty to your landscape. Whether you use it as a groundcover or in rock gardens, the Blue American takes your garden up a notch.
It's known for its large, thick, and fleshy leaves that stem from a central crown and arch over towards the ends. Along with the unforgettable blue-green hue that sets it apart from other plants' exotic tooth edges, the Blue American's foliage is unlike any other and delivers an alluring fragrance as well.
You can even plant your Century Plants in containers to use them as accent pieces for porches and patios. When used to frame entryways, the Agave's blue-green hue gives homes an inviting and charming look.
If you live in a cold area, simply plant your Century Plant in a pot and bring it indoors once the weather gets cold. Its energetic leaves and vibrant color will keep you company all winter long. And since it's a succulent, it stores water in its leaves to use when it needs a drink and won't need pruning, meaning it essentially takes care of itself...leaving little to no maintenance for you.

I got 4 pups !!
LOVE this plant! I bought a 3 gallon and got a nice sized Agave, along with 4 nice sized pups as well. I amended my soil and put her in the ground and she's thriving and spreading already! I can't wait to see how well she does.
Nice
I received 2 they were okay. Bith had a few rips maybe from shipping and were not as vibrant as in the photo, had white residue. I am happy with them, hoping they will eventually get to look as nice as the photo
The century plants are doing
The century plants are doing well in the yard! I have always wanted them and was glad to see them on Fast Growing Trees. Everything I have ordered from them arrives in excellent condition!
Blue Agave
Very nice, healthy plants. Well packed and arrived safely and quickly. Looking good!!
So Far, So Good
The agave came quickly and it was packed well. We planted in the ground last week and I’m hoping that there are no more nights in the 20s and 30s. She looks good so far. C’mon spring!!
