A very nice collection. I have some too & like to get more but am running out of room indoors in the winter in Rhode Island.
I'm interested in the ones that are hardy in North Carolina because I'd like to send some to my brothers who live there.

Hi Matt. I ran across your blog about a year ago at work. I was doing some research for a customer of ours that asked about forcing lily of the valley slips in winter. Love checking in with you from time to time to see what wonderful, cool things you are growing. The nursery I work at is in North Carolina and we carry many agave cultivars that are actually hardy in most of North Carolina and one or two varieties that are hardy into zone 6.

What a great collection. I marvel at home many different collections you have and how you fit all these tenders into the greenhouse or house come late fall

How unexpected to find a great post on agaves out of Mass! I grow a couple of the types you listed and they can't be beat for their architectural qualities, symmetry and colors… except maybe by bromeliads, but thats another story. I love your blog and the masthead design too!

What a fine collection you've assembled. I love the last one too, the variegated A. americana, and found one with the reverse variegation, broad yellow band down the center, with grey green on the edges – wonderful plants!

The A. lophatha quadicolor is stunning. I am sorely tempted to start growing these in pots now. I can grow a few in ground, and I intend to make room for them in the future. But, you have given me motivation to start sooner, esp. with those dwarf variegated varieties.
