WTB: Agave lophantha 'Miniskirt' or filifera compacta

#1

Post by Fairview »

Building an experimental reverse tapered planter box and need an agave that is happy to stay small and is hardy to zone 8a at least. Any others will do but those are the only ones I could find doing a search here.

Thanks

Crap, I was distracted and didn't see they were sold out.

Maybe you can check back every once in a while. This is the only source I've seen that sells them

The last time I talked to Jeremy Spath at Hidden Agave he had them. You have to email him direct to order them.

Awesome. I follow him on social media but had never seen his shop. He has quite a few you don't see often. Thanks!

I have extra miniskirt. They're not very pretty this time of year though. PM me if you're interested in a swap.

I don’t have ‘Miniskirt’ but I have some very vigorous ‘Multigreen’ pups.
