What I do like is that they're shorter and the corollas open up more. If you get some (I ordered mine from American Meadows), plant them closer together than you would with hybrids because the foliage is so narrow!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589473046882217457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27597072.post-22573868248598616302010-04-15T08:07:34.960-05:002010-04-15T08:07:34.960-05:00What MBT said!

I keep telling myself to add some to my garden but can never remember to actually do it. <br /><br />Pretty cool that you got to see the agave, don't think I'll be able to catch it blooming. Oh well, maybe I'll get to see the put that's growing at the base bloom.Mr Brown Thumbhttp://mrbrownthumb.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
