Due to the recent discovery of the spotted lanternfly in South Carolina, California has restricted the shipment of plants from SC as well as 15 other states in which the spotted lanternfly had already been found. It was found over 100 miles from Nurseries Caroliniana, but the whole state has been put under quarantine until a treatment protocol can be worked out to resume shipments to California. Authorities hope that this can be accomplished by the end of the month.

Splendid Mexican Agave. This Agave species is native to the mountains of Mexico and is a wonderful size for the residential landscape, as it gets to only about 20". It spreads by underground rhizomes, so it will eventually make an impenetrable mass. The light greenish-yellow center streak adds an air of sophistication. One of its best assets is its cold hardiness taking temperatures below 0°F with little damage. It does quite well with a fair amount of shade as long as it has good drainage. And Agaves respond surprisingly to adequate water, increasing their growth dramatically. It lends itself well as a container subject also, especially when one wants to take a vacation in the summer and you don't want to have to depend on your neighbors kid to water. The second picture is of the species Agave lophantha.
