Mitis Century Plant

Also known as Celsus Agave, Soft-leaved Agave

Mitis century plant forms compact rosettes of broad, arching succulent leaves that feature relatively soft, harmless marginal teeth compared to its spiky desert cousins. Native to misty canyon cliffs and pine-oak woodlands of eastern Mexico, it thrives in higher humidity, cooler temperatures, and partial shade. After many years of steady growth, each rosette produces a towering inflorescence of greenish-yellow blossoms before dying, perpetuating the clump through prolific basal pups.
