SOIL TYPE

Well-drained. The best soil for Agave 'Blue Glow' mimics the sandy or rocky conditions of an agave's native habitat. For ground planting, heavy clay soil can be amended with pumice, expanded shale, or perlite to improve drainage. For container planting, a specialized succulent or cactus potting mix is ideal.

MAINTENACE TIPS

Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water more during the growing season (spring through fall) and reduce significantly in winter. This variety does not require heavy fertilizing; a light, balanced fertilizer for succulents can be applied in the spring for faster growth, but it is not necessary. Protect the plant from temperatures below 25°F (-4°C).

Parents are: A. attenuata (6000-6500 ft) and A. ocahui (1500-4500 ft)

LEAF SHAPE

The foliage forms a perfectly symmetrical rosette of chalky, blue-green leaves. Leaves are distinguished by vibrant red margins edged with a thin, yellow line. When backlit by the sun, the leaf edges appear to "glow". The tip of each leaf features a short, sharp, red terminal spine.

FLOWER COLOR

Agave 'Blue Glow' has yellow-green flowers, but blooms on a reddish stalk once in its life.
