Default Re: Agave montana

I've got about 100 or more seedlings that are about 2 years old. I germinated them in a sandy mix, and got nearly 100% germination from them. I don't know why I have 100 of them though! They get pretty big, and I'm not sure my yard would look right with 100 full-sized Agave montanas in it (although that would be pretty cool). I don't really hold out too much hope for them surviving in my climate though. Early cold-hardiness tests by others don't look that promising. Hopefully they will be cold-hardy here though! I've left the flat of them out on some pretty cold nights, and they didn't flinch. It is a spectacular species. Zac, you need to take me with you on your next MX trip! By the way, are you not in Texas anymore, or was that that just temporary?
