It gets a good 6 hours of full sun in the summer but less now in the fall and winter because the sun is lower in the sky and gets blocked by trees across the street.

I associate this sort of behavior with shade-grown plants -- see it at CSS shows, where some of the entries have been coddled under shade cloth. And I confess I see it sometimes here at home, when an agave gets comparatively little direct sunlight (usually from lingering too long under the patio roof, waiting to be repotted). Love A. cupreata! I'll be interested to see what develops.Luisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04042236324318156854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-63647335906413230142016-11-21T17:21:30.874-08:002016-11-21T17:21:30.874-08:00Assuming that you're correct, that's too b...Assuming that you're correct, that's too bad - it's a very handsome agave. Thanks for sharing the early signs of blooming, though. I've been eyeing one of my A. desmettiana with suspicion and tomorrow I'll go give it a closer examinationKris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.com
