MacDougall s Century Plant has long, grey-green sword-like leaves that form a basal rosette until it reaches maturity when it will start forming a thick trunk. Looking like a dramatically tall and narrow-leafed Agave, this Furcraea can be used as a singular specimen, mass planted or containerized for a minimalistic effect. False Agave is clean,-looking adaptable, and drought tolerant. Their leaves do have sharp, cat-claw-like teeth on the margins, so take care not to plant them away from high-traffic areas. Easy to grow.
