-Our winters are very cold at times, but usually very dry and sunny.
-Our long hot growing season lets plants build up reserves for winter.
-High alpine agaves are the most cold tolerant, but also seem damaged by hot nights. We often cool down to the 50s and 60s at night even when daytime highs approach 100. Because of this we can grow many types of plants that can't handle the hot nights down south in Kansas City or St. Louis. A combination of being farther north and with much lower humidity.
Just hope to get some to a decent size so they can better handle a typical winter without drying out too far before spring.
