龍舌蘭有目前地表植物最長的花序，目前量測最高為8公尺，花莖高直從葉叢內生出，會在花莖旁長出數株直徑約6至8公分的漏斗狀淡白或淡黃色花朵，雄蕊6枚，子房3室，柱頭3裂；龍舌蘭單株一生中只會開一次花，花謝後母株會逐漸枯死，若授粉成功後可結成長橢圓形蒴果；葉片長約1至1.5公尺，寬15至25公分，呈針形由短莖長出向上成放射狀，邊緣略白並帶有細銳刺，葉中的汁液含多種甾體皂甙帶有毒性，會刺激皮膚產生灼熱感、發癢、出紅疹，甚至產生水泡，若長期誤食則會產生厭食、呆滯、四肢麻痺症狀，並造成胃黏膜充血及肝臟傷害，嚴重可致死，對人體黏膜部分（比如眼睛）亦會造成傷害。 龍舌蘭有四大部分是可食用的：花，葉，莖或基部花汁液（西班牙語：aguamiel，意思是“蜂蜜水”）。
- 葉部纖維處理後可製成繩索及織布。
- 葉片堅挺不易枯萎且不懼烈日，適合戶外園藝擺設做為觀葉植物。
- 可種植成排作為圍籬、海岸防風林、 定砂植物。
- 可利用其鋸齒葉、葉尖利硬及汁液毒性，做為防禦用。
- 藍色龍舌蘭和黃邊龍舌蘭的鱗根中包含的豐富多糖可以分解成果糖製成龍舌蘭糖漿。
- 藍色龍舌蘭的鱗根提煉出來的糖漿再發酵蒸餾可製成龍舌蘭酒（Tequila）。
- Pulque酒：與Tequila類似但未經蒸餾，於宗教上有相關用途。
- Mezcal酒：泛指所有龍舌蘭製成的酒類，規定較為寬鬆。
- 鱗根含豐富澱粉，可煮熟後食用。
- 中醫上可用做解毒、止血、潤肺、化痰、止咳、治虛勞咳嗽、吐血、哮喘。
- 臨床實驗嘗試運用龍舌蘭口服液治療慢性支氣管炎。
