My husband has decided he wants the hottest side of our new house planted with agaves.

I would love to find the following:

Variegated Century Plant

Agave americana 'Variegata'

Desert Agave

Agave deserti

Agave tequilana Tequila Sunrise'

Please check my trade list to see if there is anything you might be interested in!

    In z7b, you're probably limited as to what will grow. They will not tolerate moisture during the winter.

    My hubby loves to fish and i enjoy it some!! Unfortunately, 2 years ago I suddenly became allergic to all fish unless canned. Where do you go? We have built our retirement house on the Eastern Shore of VA about 45 miles south of Chincoteague and hope to move there next year. Since I sent you the first email, I have acquired several agaves/yuccas.

    If you have these would prefer these in order of preference:

    agave ovatifolia whales tongue
    agave lophantha quadricolor

    If a sub is needed then another red yucca.
    What would you like in trade??? I have removed a few things from my trade list even though I can still get them. Still can get Yucca filamentosa.
    Let me know what you can trade for sure and I will pick from those.
