Probably the Agave most suited to our cool wet climate. Most Agaves can cope with very cold temperature but not too many deal so well with the cold and wet. Agave montana is a spectacular Agave that does it's very best in a hot sun-baked planting area in dry gardens, rock gardens or as a potted specimen. 

The key with growing Agave montana is to find a planting environment that is very well drained, and in full-sun. So when planting out Agave montana add additional grit or gravel to the planting hole to maximise drainage. 

In the colder parts of the UK and in colder than usual winters try to keep the Agave montana as dry as possible and free from a build-up of snow.

When potted give the Agave montana an occasional water through summer and feed 2-3 times. In winter keep the plant as dry as possible, while it is dormant.
