Uglavnom raste u Meksiku, premda se može pronaći u južnim i zapadnim dijelovima Sjedinjenih Američkih Država i središnjim i tropskim dijelovima Južne Amerike. Ove biljke imaju velike rozete mesnatih listova, koji uglavnom imaju oštar vrh i bodljikav rub. Debela stabljika je obično kratka, a čini se kao da listovi rastu izravno iz korijena. Uz biljke iz bliskog roda Yucca, razne vrste agave popularne su kao ukrasne biljke.
Svaka rozeta jednom cvijeta, a zatim uvene. Tijekom cvatnje, visoka stabljika raste iz središta biljke i nosi veliki broj malih cvjetova. Nakon donošenja ploda, prvobitna biljka uvene, ali mladice često nastaju iz osnove stabljike od kojih nastaje nova biljka. Zbog ovoga se često pogrešno misli, da je agava kaktus.
Alkoholno piće tequila radi se od agave.
Čipku od agave u Hrvatskoj izrađuju redovnice u benediktinsku samostanu sv. Ivana Krstitelja i sv. Antuna Opata u gradu Hvaru na istoimenom otoku. Čipka se izrađuje od niti koje se posebnim postupkom dobivaju iz sredine svježih listova agave. Nakon obrade niti su bijele boje, prilično tanke određene čvrstoće i dužine.
