I was at Plant Delight Nursery this past weekend and was astounded at how good all the agaves looked, considering this was the east coast's coldest winter in 20 years (they had lows ranging from 4 to 9 degrees on the property), and on top of that Raleigh has had a cool, wet summer. Of course they're all growing on berms with excellent drainage (and Tony made the point that they nearly always grow on slopes in nature as well).John B.

I think one of the keys is somehow lifting the agave be it in a raised bed or mound as Loree showed last week. But I love having them in the garden!

It survived but lost some lower arms during our wettest March on record. I never cut the arms off and they got covered up by some other succulent that's growing in the bed. I hope they'll direct water away from the roots next winter. Yours all look great! You and Loree have convinced me to try planting more agaves in the ground. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-19901404163692920462014-05-13T13:58:20.446-07:002014-05-13T13:58:20.446-07:00I am yet to grow agave montana.

They definitely are hardy enough, I guess it just depends on whether or not it will handle our wet weather. But the UK is very similar to us here in the PNW! Thanks for the recommendation. I can't wait to get one now!Louishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06219272603726629982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-79753575714648632222014-05-13T12:54:25.564-07:002014-05-13T12:54:25.564-07:00It is a very good problem to have though.

In the UK we find it is the fastest grower in the ground, and once it has bulked up a bit is good and hardy.Spiky Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336642361281619338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-42126597211787857142014-05-13T11:29:35.752-07:002014-05-13T11:29:35.752-07:00Nice!

I have high hopes for it. My Agave parryi 'J.C. Raulston' thrives despite neglect too, and made it through winter looking pretty good. Unfortunately my Whale's Tongue turned to mush. I have plenty more Agaves in pots that winter over in the green house.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428399855033732471.post-72711121718592481082014-05-13T10:50:34.602-07:002014-05-13T10:50:34.602-07:00Nice report.

The winters probably slow the growth a bit which keeps them from turning into garden monsters and leaves plenty of room for those little agave pups in the garden. I see two more in the parryi pot so your farm keeps growing.<br /><br />Shirleyhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
