Agave Blue Glow

Agave ‘Blue Glow’ is a stunning hybrid succulent admired for its refined rosette of blue-green leaves edged with vivid red and yellow margins that seem to glow when backlit by the sun. Compact yet dramatic, it’s perfect for adding architectural beauty to gardens, rockeries, or stylish containers. Its slow-growing nature and striking silhouette make it a favorite among collectors and landscape designers.

• Foliage: Smooth, blue-green leaves with glowing red and yellow edges and a sharp terminal spine.

• Growth Habit: Compact, symmetrical rosette with an architectural form.

• Flowering: Produces a tall flower spike with yellow-green blooms after many years (monocarpic but produces offsets before flowering).

• Height/Spread: 45–60 cm tall and wide.

• Hardiness: Drought-tolerant, moderately frost-hardy once established.

Care Tips:

• Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade—bright light enhances its glowing margins.

• Soil: Use well-draining, sandy or gritty soil for best results.

• Watering: Water deeply but sparingly; allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.

• Fertilizer: Lightly feed during spring and summer with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.

• Temperature: Protect from severe frost; hardy to about –3 °C once mature.

• Maintenance: Remove offsets to propagate or maintain a clean rosette shape. Handle with care due to sharp spines.
