It is still living in the 6-8in pot it was in when I bought it some 3yrs ago. As you can see it has a 'baby'. I think there is another one on the other side, so it is getting crowded in there. Also I think the parent plant is about to send up a bloom stalk.
It has been living outside in my sunny, south facing front yard year round since I bought it (3+yrs). I've been considering planting one of the babies in the ground in the bed near where the pot is sitting. I know it can take our mild weather, but I'm concerned about our rainfall. We get 52in avg a year, so it can be wet here. My front yard, where I'm thinking of planting it is on an incline which drains excess water to the street, so I figure that will be helpful in keeping it from sitting in water. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether it would be advisable to plant either the parent or baby in the ground here.
Also, does anyone know the name of this agave?
Thanks very much for your help.
