🌵Top 10 Cactus & Desert Agave for Mountain Gardens🌵

Ken and Lisa Lain, the Top 10 Gardeners, are here with the solution to all your prickly landscape needs.

Cactus and desert agave bring a touch of the wild to your mountain garden, thriving with minimal water and maximum resilience. These hardy plants are perfect for those looking to add unique, low-maintenance beauty to their outdoor spaces. The Century Plant, or Agave, is a standout, with its dramatic bloom that can reach feet in height seemingly overnight. While it’s true that pack rats or porcupines might occasionally nibble on your agave, these plants are generally tough and undemanding. To protect your precious blooms, consider some simple deterrents.

Planting desert cacti like the Prickly Pear or Barrel Cactus can also be a rewarding experience. These species require little water, making them ideal for arid climates and busy gardeners. Place them in well-draining soil and enjoy their striking forms and vibrant blooms.

By incorporating these top cacti and agave into your garden, you’re not just adding plants; you’re creating a sustainable, eye-catching landscape.
