Agave Americana... is cultivated as an ornamental plant for the large dramatic form of mature plants - for modernist, drought tolerant, and desert style cactus gardens, rock or arid gardens. we have successfully overwintered these arid plants over record breaking temperatures, however, it is often used in hot climates and where drought conditions occur. These plants are often used in landscape design in Southwestern U.S. and are now more commonly used in Southeast landscapes enduring hot humid climates. Protection is key as they don't like damp-cold, and must be overwintered dry. Once established, they will grow offshoots or pups. Agave's will grow fast and must be kept away from walkways and passerby's as they are well-armed..

The Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus... Locally grown in Niagara, this is a fast running perennial succulent cactus with jointed, rounded, but flattened, green stems, the segments of which are called “pads”. It may be horizontal or upright, growing up to a foot or more in height. Typical of most cacti, the pads are armed with barbed bristles and spines. Yellow flowers bloom along the edges of the pads. The juicy, edible fruits are green, ripening to reddish-brown. In Canada, although rare, the Eastern Prickly Pear Cactus is found only in Southern Ontario. There are two known locations, which are on sand spits along the shore of Lake Erie. Based on historical reports, this cactus may once have been marginally more widespread in areas near Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. Many of these are found in the Burlington area and in well places areas, and will deter critters.
