For years I watched for a bloom on a neighbor's agave and then they had to cut it down early as it leaned out over the road.<br /><br />Nice inspiration in those curious planters. That sedum stays put nicely, mine get heavy and drop off as soon as they run over the edge of the planter. The pieces root on the ground below so it works out well.Shirley/Rock-Oak-Deerhttp://rockoakdeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-71403826926657396222016-08-16T14:03:07.498-07:002016-08-16T14:03:07.498-07:00Protection from squirrels, most definitely. Bloom ...Protection from squirrels, most definitely. Bloom stalks on Agaves really aren't a big deal, they're easily cut before they rot/fall, and can be induced by rope and location of cut to fall where wanted. I may regret all the Agave franzosinii I've planted these past 10 years, but so far the biggest are only 5 feet tall by across, and already given plentiful pups for planting elsewhere. Their luminous white foliage is great for night time effects.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424782430147114976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-127544060621950732016-08-16T14:02:31.961-07:002016-08-16T14:02:31.961-07:00Those agaves look so otherworldly!
