A great selection of Agaves you have Chadec Am I seeing correct but is that $100 US for Agave Albopilosa?

Awesome collection!
I have seen a bunch of those Medio Picta Alba across the street
I got a bunch of pups off one plant-one was even all green.

So far this winter we have had lows down to 2F. Looks like my loses so far are aloe aristata, agave utahensis and chrysantha. Once again havardiana and ovatifolia are unfased without any protection.

You won't have a problem with eucomis or hardy crinums. That spotted manfreda will surprise me if it makes it, though. Manfreda virginica should do well in your zone but isn't as showy. Tell me about agave Havardiana and ovatifolia. You say they'll live through zone 7 temps with precip? That's pretty awesome. I've got some havard pups I'm growing out to try in the ground. How long have you had both agave in ground? What low temps have they seen? How do they look after winter?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have had the ovatifolia in ground for 4 years and the havardiana in ground for 6. Last year we seen our lowest temps of -1F. In 2010 the havardiana went through a awful winter being frozen for a month. Neither agave has shown any winter damage. Lost a larger ovatifolia last year but I believe the soil amendment was poorly done on my part. I have started using 75% non organic material like pea gravel and course sand. So far this year lechuguilla has been unfased. It has pups growing out of the protection and they are all perfect. Not bad for a first yr. Agave.
Snapped a few pics of A. Desmettiana today in the building as I was putting up a recent ebay shipment of new cold hardy plants.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Snow and ice, going down to 0 deg F. Very uncommon winters for my area to have temps this low.
It only snowed 4" deep but agave havardiana is feeling the burn.

I would do the same thing. I don't think the cold will hurt it, not in your zone. It would the wet or rot that would do it in. I had one more, but i watered it in before I covered it up for the winter, I should have planted it dry and let it alone, it was mush by spring. I very weary of trying one again but I did and have had it for years.chadec wrote:Very nice Aaron, looks like all your cacti came through looking great. I think for the first year here I am only gonna plant my smaller echinocactus. Too much money if something goes wrong.

John, for me in order I would say havardiana, ovatifolia and parryi var. parryi. But ovatifolia gets big and must be planted on a slant or it holds too much moisture. Trying lechuguilla and appears to be promising as pups are surviving outside with no protection. Going down into negective degrees F tonight and still have plenty of ice on the ground so it will be interesting to see.
Chad.... even though I'm zone 8a I don't get off that lightly. Despite a -7C min I've lost one of my oldest Agaves which I had for 5 years in the ground.. Agave Montana and even managed leaf burn on Agave havardiana.
Admittedly mild leaf burn but both Agaves were unprotected.

Andy, I always keep in mind how mesic an agave is when deciding to test its hardiness. I know Greg list montana as one of the most hardiest and mesic agaves. So far I am impressed with mine, however it is planted in 75% non organic such as pea gravel and DG. I noticed yours appears to be in complete top soil. Definitely amend the soil and plant on an angle. You may want to try agave montana baccarat. I had this agave in ground for 4 yrs. lost it last winter at -18C. I can't say how many hardy agaves I have killed. Doesn't look like my ocahui or parryi v truncata is gonna make it. I have 4 ovatifolias, 4 havardianas, 4 parryi parryi, lechuguilla, toumeyana ssp bella surviving unprotected. Some that I can't leave unprotected are salmiana, durangensis, victoria reginae, gentry, bracteosa, and insects finished off my protoamericana silver surfer. But I always buy in pairs and never give up.
A few after winter shots.
