I have a few agaves outdoors in NE near Newcastle. This will be winter 6 for a few of them. Usual stuff, americana/variagata/mediopicta/montana all do well in a raised gravelly bed with overhead protection but no side protection or external heat. Wind goes across it to prevent rot. Roof of clear polycarbonate. Lows of -6°C here last year damage free👍
Sounds like you have a fantastic set up for your Agaves. Thanks for sharing your experience on this. I might try mediopica again if yours have been surviving fine. Simon
