MacDougall's Century Plant

Furcraea macdougallii, also known as MacDougall's Century Plant, is a striking, evergreen succulent native to Mexico, known for its large, dramatic rosettes of long, sword-like leaves that can grow up to 6 feet in length. This plant, a member of the Agave family, has thick, fleshy leaves that are typically a blue-gray or greenish color, with smooth edges and a distinctive, slightly twisted shape. In its natural habitat, Furcraea macdougallii thrives in arid, rocky environments and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for xeriscaping and desert gardens. In late spring or early summer, it produces a tall, branched flower spike that can reach up to 15 feet with small, cream-colored flowers that attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. With its bold, sculptural form and minimal care requirements, Furcraea macdougallii is a standout plant in both landscapes and as an indoor specimen, adding a touch of tropical flair to any space.
