This fierce queen is big, bold, and unbothered.

Move over, Priscilla, there's a new queen of the desert! Agave americana, also known as the Century Plant, is a stunning architectural succulent that makes a dramatic addition to any dry, hot landscape.

Agave americana commands the stage like the star she is, growing up to 6 to 10 feet wide and often just as tall.

But drama doesn't stop there! This intimidating beauty's striking blue-green leaves can get up 5 to 8 feet long, and are edged with sharp spikes (her natural defense against herbivores) that's giving "look but don't touch."

A Stunning Bloom Worthy of a Standing Ovation

Once the regal Ms. Americana has fully matured (usually sometime between 10 to 30 years, depending on conditions), it's time for her final performance.

In a spectacular grand finale, clusters of creamy yellow-green blossoms burst out in huge, branching candelabra-like formations at the very top of a sky-high stalk that can reach up 30 feet tall! Once it's done blooming, the mother begins to die back. But no need for tears (don't ruin that mascara, darling!) As they mature, agaves send out little "pups" that take over. The Agave americana is timeless, commanding, and always leaves a legacy.

NOTE: The name "Century Plant" was given to the plant by European settlers who incorrectly assumed it took the plant 100 years to reach that final bloom. The name stuck — "About Twenty Years Or So Plant" just doesn't have the same ring.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Low Maintenance: Thrives on neglect and needs minimal watering — perfect for busy gardeners.
  • Heat & Drought Tolerant: Ideal for sunny, arid climates or water-conscious landscaping.
  • Container-Friendly: Grows beautifully in pots, adding bold structure to patios, decks, or entryways. (Just be sure to give it plenty of space and know that the bloom might not be as dramatic.)
  • Wildlife Resistant: Spiny leaves deter deer and rabbits, leaving your plant intact.

Growing Tips:

Plant Agave americana in well-draining soil and a spot with full sun. If grown in containers, choose a large pot with drainage holes to accommodate its impressive growth and keep roots healthy.

Looking for a plant that combines beauty, resilience, and a bit of drama? Agave americana is the perfect choice for landscapes and containers that demand attention.

Fun educational book
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book is a big hit! My 5 year old son and I read it so many times since we ordered this in April. It has cute illustration and 60 flaps and pop-ups which make the book even more exciting. And because of this, I don’t recommend this book to young kids under 3 though. Some flaps might be tricky for younger kids. Even I as a parent learned so much about construction.

Great book, but the other book of the same author is much better
Format: Hardcover
This is a very high quality book, chock a block full of information about construction sites, with lots of imaginative flaps, things that swivel, move, and fold. HOWEVER...it is not as good as "The Ultimate Book of Vehicles" by the same author. The "Vehicles" book is more appropriate for kids 3 years and up: It is still full of awesome flaps, swivels, and things that move, but it is simpler, with pictures of the vehicle, the name of the vehicle, and maybe a few names of the parts of the vehicle. You open up a flap to see inside, make it move, etc. My son found it very interesting. The "Construction" is really aimed for older kids, I'm guessing 5 and up, maybe even older. There are just so many words on the page, and so much information. The flaps are not as interesting as the previous book, and I found many of the moving parts to be "sticky", and my 3 year old ripped quite a few out within a week of reading the book. We have not ripped anything from the "Vehicle" book. So I would say if you have an older kid who wants to gain a lot of knowledge about construction sites, this book is for you. But if you have a younger child (3 and up, any younger and they'd destroy the book), get the "Vehicle" book.

So Much Fun And Very Informative
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This book has been a winner in our house since it arrived. Each page has so many flaps, spins, pulls and movement. So many new words and easy explanations for the kids. The pictures are beautifully designed and each time we look through it we find more details we missed! The book is an excellent purchase and definitely worth every penny!

Best Construction Kids book
Format: Hardcover
My nephew can look at this book for hours. It is such a cool book even for adults. It is a more delicate child’s book as their are lots of demonstrations and paper pieces that move. The house across the street is being torn down and rebuilt and he will sit and point to the book and say this is what they are doing today. I think this book is one of my nephews most prized possessions. It’s a great book that can grown with them for a few years. He is only 3 but this could easily engage a 5 or 6 year old. There is lots of details and the book is really well designed.
