Bloodspot Mangave forms a colorful rosette of attractively dappled foliage, staying compact enough to be excellent as a container plant. An intergeneric cross that may have originated in Japan, it is believed to have been made with Agave macroacantha x Manfreda maculosa. Like other Mangaves, we must look to its parentage to guess its tolerance of cold conditions. This particular cross suggests that it will be tolerant of heat and drought but requires protection from hard frost.

Lavender Lady Mangave is one of the most beautiful of all Mangave creations, with smoky lavender foliage that forms a solitary picturesque rosette. An intergeneric cross of Mangave ‘Bloodspot’ x Agave attenuata, it is not heavily spined as Agaves so often are. Similar in cultural preferences to Agave attenuata, it is tolerant of drought and heat but should not be planted where it will be exposed to hard frost.

Our Argentine Giant Cactus Hybrid is similar to torch cactus with brightly colored flowers, but it has a low spreading habit that defies its name. Not actually giant, it tends to spread outward in low clumps that appear to crawl along the ground. It is excellent planted on a berm, rock wall or in front of boulders. Highly adaptable to heat and sun, it has beautiful golden spines that glow when back lit from the sun. Native to the semi-arid Chaco forest habitat of Argentina and Bolivia, Argentine Giant is considered to be more adaptable to temperate winter climates than many low desert species. To be safe, protect growing tips from frost when plants are young. This can be done easily by securing styrofoam cups over the tops of each stem during the coldest nights.
Reference note: Argentine Giant is sometimes referred to by the older name Trichocereus candicans

Miniature Santa Rita Prickly Pear Cactus combines smaller form with stunning color. The turquoise blue pads grow in attractive compact geometric mounds and become tinged with vibrant purple in cool weather. The bright yellow flowers are attractive to hummingbirds and other pollinators. Beautiful in dry gardens and containers, Miniature Santa Rita Prickly Pear is very sensitive to wet conditions and benefits from a coarse well drained soil. Plant away from high traffic areas.

Waikiki Elephant Ear is an exciting new color introduction with variegated foliage in patterns of green, pink and white. These tropical natives are moisture loving and versatile enough to live indoors or outdoors. They can even be planted in ponds and and boggy areas where water tends to collect. Although the spectacular heart shaped leaves are frost tender, colocasia is an herbaceous perennial that resprouts from the base when warm weather returns. A heavy feeder, it prefers rich soil and regular fertilizer. Evergreen in frost free climates.

Karl Foerster Feather Reed Grass is an award-winning hybrid noted for attractive clumps of green foliage with vertical sprays of golden flowers that can be cut for dried flower arrangements. Tolerant of both wet soils and brief drought, it is ideal in the border and as a specimen. Preferring at least 6 hours of sunlight, its leaves will be less upright in shadier conditions. As an herbaceous perennial, it should be cut to the ground in later winter before new shoots emerge.

Nolina longifolia is native to Mexico with trunking form, beautiful long weeping leaves and a lifespan that can extend for centuries. Closely related to Beaucarnia and Dasylirion, Nolina are sometimes referred to as varieties of Yucca and indeed are in the same family as Yucca and Agave. All of these related plants are beautiful, drought tolerant, low maintenance and long lived. Nolina is slow growing but stunning when mature. It makes a statement as a specimen plant grown among cactus and agaves and requires no irrigation once established.

Spirit of Anzac Grevillea has finely dissected leaves and a unique silver gray color with red flowers that appear off and on throughout the year. Like other Grevilleas this tough beauty is drought tolerant, pest resistant and easy to maintain. Excellent for cut flowers and attractive to beneficial pollinators and hummingbirds, Grevillea prefer well drained soil and should only be given phosphorus free fertilizers, if any.

Agave geminiflora has narrow dark green leaves that are flexible and not particularly sharp for an agave. As the plant matures, the leaves will number in the hundreds and form an attractive cascading sphere which looks particularly striking planted in a large container. Not known for producing offsets, it is maintenance free as well as drought tolerant. Agave geminiflora is known to have two slightly differing forms, one with plain smooth leaves and another with fibrous white hairs curling back from the leaf margins. At the time of this writing, we have both forms but recommend coming in person to view our current selection.
