We have three varieties of agave in our front island. All three varieties regularly propagate, so we get free ones to add to the collection. I transplanted seven this afternoon.
This is the Agave Americana. They get quite large. This one is about 5 ft tall and 7 ft wide. We had a lot of these in our house in Sonora.
I think this is Agave Weberi. They are really nice looking and have a lot of little ones that pop up regularly.
The best of the bunch are these Queen Victoria agave. We have four of them now. To buy them locally at this size runs $300 each. We seem to get 1-2 new ones per year.
It wasn’t easy getting these up because the soil is so rocky and difficult to dig in.
