Today begins the cool, rainy season in my neck of the PNW. I've noticed that water tends to pool in the tops of my Agaves. I assume it will be there for the next six months. Is this a problem? I'm less worried about the bottoms as the soil is raised and drains well.
This is Agave 'Ovatifolia'. I also have Parryi 'JC Raulston' and Parryi Truncata which seem to pool water as well. The first two are reputed to be cold and moisture tolerant, the Truncata maybe not so much.
I'd like to get by without building rain deflectors for these guys... but is that realistic?
