The Neomexicana at the end sure are sharp,
I have found mine to be exceptionally slow but
it is a lot smaller than the others.

First season in the ground for this Agave.
Love this agave, where did you get it? Looks like a form of parryi. 😕

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.

Those are some beauties! That one hybrid between utahensis and neomexicana is real cool.
Thanks Tim, I like it also. Too bad it has frost damage on the lower leaves, but still amazed it survived uncovered that winter that kill so many plants here. 😯 A few more years and seeds for everyone! 😀

great Agaves Andy. The A. montana is nice with its dark green leaves.

Too much moisture in my area for agaves I guess. If they were cheaper, I'd try them out.
Yours look great! One of the best I've seen growing in such low temperatures. Love that hybrid! 🙂

I hope one day you can find a cheaper source, they have been a lot of fun in the garden. 😀

Aaron... sorry for late reply... I bought the plant from Nigel Kembrey who is a palm specialist in the UK. Cost me £35 😀
I am not an Agave specialist but isn't Neomexicana a form of Agave Parryi? I have another smaller plant sold as Parryi. This plant has a greener colour to it compared to the bluer Neomexicana. This agave is planted in the Yucca border.

This does look a beauty... I haven't seen it my side of the pond. Is it easy to obtain over there?

It is the only one I know of. I got it from a grower that was only growing A. neomexicana and A. utahensis. I was sold to me as A. neomexicana. It was much bigger than the A. utahensis that was there and looked like A neomexicana at the time. I had reason to belive it was a hibrid so I bought it and it has been the most hardy Agave I have ever owned. 😀
