FREE: Century Plant - Agave Americana - 3 Live Rooted Babies - Free Shipping !!!

The listing, Century Plant - Agave Americana - 3 Live Rooted Babies - Free Shipping !!! has ended.

This auction is for 3 live rooted babies approximately 5" high. This plant is a succulent and in the aloe family.

As you can see by my 7 year old adult plant in my front yard (pictures 1 and 2), this will grow into the beautiful ornamental scrub..

This is largest and most majestic of the native Texas agaves, and often grows as tall as 6 feet. Its leaves are gray-blue to blue-green with spines at the tips and on the margins; the older leaves often gracefully arch down.

Century plant lives for 10 to 25 years (the "century" is an exaggeration) before it uses all its reserves to produce a magnificent flower stalk that can be 15 feet tall. After that the original plant dies, but is replaced by small offshoots around the base.

it grows in dry, gravelly soils in the south, but is naturalized and grown farther north and west. Like most agaves, this needs full sun and well drained soil to thrive. It is extremely drought tolerant and moderately slow-growing. Supplemental water in dry summer months will make it grow faster, but care must be taken not to overwater, especially in clay soils, because too much moisture will cause the roots to rot. It is hardy to about 20 degrees F., and like most agaves, is tolerant of reflected heat.

Any one interested in a Gin (Get It Now), just make me an offer you think is fair and we can end this auction right now :) I can only offer a gin if no one has placed a bid already.
