Agave consists of either perennial or monocarpic succulents that develop rosettes of typically stiff, thick, spiny leaves. The plants produce funnel-shaped flowers in racemes or panicles that often exceed the height of the rosettes.

Agave sisalana is a perennial succulent characterized by a robust, short stem and a rosette of elongated, grey-green leaves that can reach lengths of up to 1.5 meters, each edged with reddish-brown spines. Once established, mature specimens may send up a tall flowering spike adorned with branching clusters of small yellow-green blooms. Following the flowering process, the rosette typically declines, although it can occasionally generate bulbils along the flowering stalk. This species is commercially significant for its production of sisal fiber.

Agave titanota is a medium-sized, evergreen succulent that initially develops a solitary rosette, although it can generate offsets as it matures. The leaves are characterized by their formidable, curved, and twisting light-brown marginal spines, which often merge at the edges. A long, spiraled spine extends from the tip of each leaf. This species is monocarpic, meaning it will perish after blooming and producing seeds. The yellow flowers emerge on a spike that can reach heights of 3 to 6 meters.
