Peculiar succulent plant arranged in a rosette, which can reach in nature remarkable dimensions. It has needle-shaped leaves, narrow and very long, of opaque pale green colour, tending to glaucous, ending in sharp tips. Its initial posture is erect, but with the growth it will develop falling back into a wonderful green waterfall. The blooming takes place in autumn on long peduncles and, unlike most of the species belonging to the genus Agave, is not monocarpic, that is, it continues to live even after the blooming.
