I collect cones from every winter as it produces viable seeds. Every spring I germinate as many as I can.
that's very cool

After 25 years, one of my century plants has decided it’s time to go out in a blaze of glory. That flower stalk is growing about a foot a day.

Amazing!
I have a few but have to keep them in pots. They are not quite hardy enough to leave out over winter where I am.

Thanks. I hope the ones I plant are here for generations after I am gone.

Century plants are cool, but If you're planting them, please do so away from powerlines. Those stalks grow so quick and tall they can grow into a power line quickly.

Here’s another shot of the Century plant. For scale, the top of that gate is 10 feet off the ground.

No worries mate,
No power lines in the vicinity.
Good advice though.Frank
