Agave applanata is a succulent plant that forms a usually solitary rosette of silvery-blue to gray-green leaves with sharp dark brown to black marginal teeth and long dark reddish-brown terminal spine that become greyish with age. The rosette grows up to 6.6 feet (2 m) in diameter and occasionally produces a few offsets. Leaves are marked with bud imprints. They are up to 3.3 feet (8 m) long and 7 inches (18 cm) wide. Flowers are bright yellow, shortly tubular, and appear in clusters on an up to 26.2 feet (8 m) tall spike in spring, usually after 15 to 25 years.
