minus-squareapfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-25 个月前Agaves are broadly monocarpic, meaning that they only flower once and die. Some species do not though, and some individuals do not. Agaves are closely related to and can hybridize with manfredas, which are not monocarpic. The world of plants is a big beautiful mess.
