Discover the stunning Agave guiengola — also known as the Triangle Agave! This rare and beautiful species is a showstopper in any landscape. The variegated form features soft blue-green leaves edged in creamy yellow tones that absolutely glow in the sun. Agave guiengola can grow to impressive sizes, forming bold architectural shapes that make it a perfect focal point for waterwise gardens and desert landscapes. It does not do well in frost, however. ✨ Fun fact: The agave snout weevil doesn’t prefer this species — meaning you can plant it with confidence and enjoy its beauty without the usual worry! Whether you’re a collector, a succulent enthusiast, or just love unique statement plants, this agave is a must-see. 🌵 Learn more and explore our full selection of agaves here!

Did you know compost can reach temperatures up to 160 degrees?  That’s right! In this video, Tom Jesch from Waterwise Botanicals shares some fascinating science behind why compost gets so hot. It’s all thanks to the millions of micro-organisms hard at work! These living organisms feed on nutrients—like nitrogen—and act like tiny engines, generating heat as they break everything down. It’s very similar to how our own bodies work: we eat nutritious food that feeds our billions of cells, which then produce body heat around 98.6 degrees. We love sharing these fun, science-based insights and our passion for the natural world with you. Watch the full YouTube video here!
