What type of Agaves are hardy in a zone 6 or lower? I know Agave parryi does well. What other types are worth a try?
Retgards,
Jay

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.

Very impressive Aaron ... Agave neomexicana is a tough customer.

Hi Barrie
It is Agave ovatifolia and so far seems to be hardy in zone 6 if kept dry. 😀

I have not, but my freind just south of me has had good luck with the ones in the pic. They must be kept dry in winter, I think he covers them with plastic in winter. 😀
