Agave is a plant that dies once it blooms, but new plants have formed at the base of the agave in Hiokayama Park, and it is thought that it will bloom again many years from now.
* [About agave] *
Agave is a succulent plant native to Central and South America, which takes its name from its leaves that are thick and have sharp thorns, resembling a dragon’s tongue, and takes 30 to 50 years to bloom in Japan. It is said that. It is also called the “Century Plant” because it takes a long time to bloom.
The stems grow from the middle of the leaves and yellow flowers bloom. The flower itself is relatively plain, but it has a mysterious blooming appearance.
