FREE: Century plant

The listing, Century plant has ended.

This is actual plant growing and being offered. Century plants do best in an area that receives at least a half-day of sun and in well-draining soil, in the garden or in a large pot. They can become enormous — 6 to 8 or more feet tall with a rosette of 20 to 40 leaves that can be a dozen feet across. The succulent foliage stores water, and the waxy coating helps prevent water loss. The huge leaves, nearly a foot wide, are smooth and rigid, and have sharp teeth along the margins, providing some cultures with weapons. They’re gray-green or gray-blue.
