Residents are invited to visit the Halifax Public Gardens to witness the blooming process of one of the municipality’s largest Agave americana plants, also known as a century plant.

The Halifax Public Gardens has been home to this Agave plant for more than two decades.

These plants are monocarpic, meaning the plant will die after the flowering process concludes. The stalk is growing approximately six inches per day and is expected to reach a height of up to 30 feet. The entire blooming process is expected to last a number of weeks.
