anyone grow macho mocha?


Does anyone grow 'Macho Mocha,' the mangave or agave (or whatever the taxonomists have decided it is) that has a voluptuous agave shape but lovely manfred spotted leaves?

I have several and I can't figure out how to water them.  They are in my low water garden but look thirsty in the summer heat.  I've done deep watering a couple of times and I don't see that it makes any difference.   Funny thing is, the agaves and the manfredas in the same area do fine. So how come the Macho Mochas look so stressed?  They were all planted at about the same time.... 

Anyone got any suggestions?
