Where did you get the agave?

12 years ago

I live in Sonoma and cannot find agave attenuate but absolutely adore them. Is it true they won't survive our winters?

Agave may survive your winters if you cover them during the coldest (freezing) days. We grow agave in Bolinas, if interested let me know and we can schedule a visit to the succulent gardens.

I would love that! I just ripped out plants in front of a rock wall and really want succulents.
