When Michael McIver first bought this house, its gardens were nonexistent. McIver, a landscape designer, quickly planted trees, shrubs and bushes, including the brilliant bougainvillea that drapes over the doorway. The occasional flowering of the agave in the front yard adds an impressive touch of drama. “Sometimes they flower, but when they do it kills the main plant, and it will eventually need to be taken out,” he says. Luckily, the plant produces pups, or volunteer seedlings that grow next to the larger agave, ready to take its place.
