Interés especial
At end of life this agave has one of the most impressive flowers of all agave. About 15 feet tall, the flower stock is very thick and club shaped with tightly clumped yellow flowers flaring at the top. Oddly, it takes two seasons for the flower to bloom, with it growing halfway during the fall of a season, then waiting out winter and continuing the bloom in spring. Additionally, sometimes the agave turns bright red when in bloom.
