    Genus of over 200 species of perennials and monocarpic succulents forming rosettes, from the desert and mountainous regions of North, Central and South America. Agave havardiana is a medium-sized succulent plant with a single body, but more often tufted. This species, up to 100-120 cm tall, is characterized by numerous glaucous leaves, up to 50-80 cm long, of an elongated shape that form a compact rosette. The leaves have robust reddish-grey spines on the edges and at the tips. When mature, the plant produces inflorescences up to 3-4 meters tall on which the golden yellow flowers are present. After flowering, which occurs around the 15th/20th year of age, the plant dies.
