Shira ito no ohi Variegated Thread-leaf Agave

January 28, 2021

A fantastic and unique variegated selection of an already fantastic agave, Shira ito no ohi looks more like a small intricate sculpture than a living being! The white threads coming off the leaves really accentuate the variegation and the symmetry of the whole plant has us swooning! Grows fairly slowly and requires well draining soil. Makes an excellent container plant where temperatures drop below 15º F.

‘Porcupine’ Queen Victoria Agave

October 14, 2020

A dwarf form of one of the most pleasing and symmetrical looking agaves, ‘Porcupine’ Queen Victoria Agave, named for its white porcupine quill-like leaves, is a smaller growing selection of the infamous Queen Victoria Agave collected by the legendary Yucca Do Nursery in the mountains of Mexico. Fairly hardy in ground, down to 10°F but also makes a fantastic container specimen and will appreciate being on the drier side in winter.

Squid Agave

October 12, 2020

Though it doesn’t quite look like the quintessential agave rosette, we’ve grown quite fond of the Squid Agave’s unique form. Likely the easiest agave to cultivate here in the Pacific Northwest, the Squid Agave needs little more than a slight slope in full sun. We’ve planted this one where we probably shouldn’t have and it’s never complained about it, though we still recommend planting in sharp draining soil in full sun. Perfect for adding some “under the sea vibes” to your garden!

Fatal Attraction Agave

October 9, 2020

A very cool selection of a not-often-seen species! Fatal Attraction Agave features bluish green leaves and a pale midstripe down the center of each leaf. Leaves are heavily toothed, hence the name, but it certainly is an attractive thing!

Blue Glow Agave

October 9, 2020

Thought to be a cross between two beautiful agave species, Agave ocahui and Agave attenuata, Blue Glow Agave has stunning qualities from both parents!

Mountain Agave

October 8, 2020

One of the easiest to grow agaves for cold, wet climates, the Mountain Agave (Agave montana) is native to the mountains of Northern Mexico so it is no stranger to cold. Forms a solitary rosette, meaning no agave “pups” coming out from the sides, and looks like a massive spiny artichoke once it reaches maturity. At anywhere between age 20-30 they will flower, sending up what looks to be a gigantic extraterrestrial asparagus shoot that eventually opens up to reveal many flowers. Plants die after flowering so it is a bittersweet but extravagant affair!

Frosty Blue Whale’s Tongue Agave

August 13, 2020

Yet another superb selection by Sean Hogan of an already spectacular species! Frosty Blue Whale’s Tongue Agave is likely the largest growing of any of the cold hardy century plants and tolerates our winter rain and cold better than almost any other cold hardy agave. Native to northeastern Mexico, this selection was made for its extremely blue foliage and we absolutely adore it!

Artichoke Agave

July 10, 2020

One of the best of the many Agave parryi varieties, the Artichoke Agave (Agave parryi var. truncata) produces gorgeous rosettes of the most beautiful frosty blue and produces many offsets of smaller rosettes that come up all around it. It’s fiercely armored with dark maroon spikes but this adds greatly to its ornamental appeal!
