We had several palms last year but they did not survive the winter (they were still young and had a very cold snap last December which killed them). Our sego is still in the pot but is planted in the ground. When below freezing weather comes we will take it out of the ground and bring it in. Good luck in you plant selection!

Thanks. We usually only get a handful of nights that get below freezing, and then only for a couple of hours. I'll probably wrap them, but that's about it. I'll take a looks at those others you mentioned - except the Lantana. We had that in the front of our last house. It's pretty stuff, but grows like a weed and tends to take over whatever area it's planted in without regular pruning.

You aren't making tequila with that agave are you?
