We have lots of pups of two variegated agaves:

Both are hardy to about 20-25F, we keep them in containers and protect
them in the winter. Desmettiana likes some shade as well and both
require very good drainage. We just moved them off glazed pots because
they retained too much water.


I'd like a couple if you're giving them away )

I dug some blue agave pups a few weeks ago, hoping they won't mind living
in a terracotta pot. The ones I dug last year don't look too happy, their
brothers and sisters who stayed with momma look much hardier. I suppose
that's to be expected.
