More than 200 species of Agave are native to North America, primarily Mexico. Among the most significant collections in the gardens, many Agaves are now concluding their life cycles with spectacular flower stalks (inflorescences) that can reach heights of 30 feet, can grow several inches per day, and last for many weeks.
