    Have I got this one right? And if so, how well might it live in a North Lincolnshire garden? Sandy soil, I can provide full sun and a sheltered spot. Or would it require a greenhouse? I can do that too but would prefer it to be outside with the potential for height!

    Yep looks good to me.
    I'm not totally sure but I think it's pretty tender regarding frost.

      Hi Niki,

      Agve Attenuata is from Mexico and is classed as H1 so is a definite no-no for outdoors in an English winter. It needs to be kept dry through the winter but can be placed outdoors for the summer.

        Righto, scratch that one as well then! I figured this would be the case for most of what I found in Dad's garden. Hey-ho, never mind.

        Plant it out in the summer.
        And then lift and bring indoors in October
