An agave plant in a local man's yard is beyond its years. The Century Plant is known to bloom every hundred years, but some grow much sooner but not known to grow this early. When Jason "Kujo" Kouchacji moved to his Bay Park home nine years ago, he cleared out his backyard but kept a Century Plant. He thought it would take decades to grow but in April it started to sprout and kept growing and growing and growing. “I always come out and say hi to it and give it some extra love,” Jason Kouchacji. That love for this agave reached new heights and it attracts many visitors above Kouchacji’s balcony. “The bees are partying out there. Hummingbirds, bees, beetles,” said Kouchacji. Century Plants are not unique to San Diego, but unlike its name, Kouchacji’s bloomed much younger. “It's only been nine years and the Century Plants usually don't bloom anywhere from 15-25,30 years some 50 years before their final bloom,” said Kouchacji. The Century Plant is an agave species in the asparagus family. Kouchacji says once it started blooming it grew six inches every day. Then the flowers started growing from its branches but they only live for a few days.
