Agave 'Blue Glow' is a cultivated hybrid between Agave attenuata and Agave ocahui. It forms solitary rosettes of smooth, blue-green leaves with finely serrated edges highlighted by a narrow red margin and yellow banding. The leaves end in a small, dark spine but are less rigid than many other agaves, making this plant more manageable in cultivation. Rosettes can grow up to 60–90 cm across and eventually produce a tall flower spike, after which the plant dies without offsetting. Its compact form and contrasting leaf colours have made it a popular choice for landscape and container use.
Care Tips
Light: Thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade in hotter climates.
Water: Water sparingly, letting the soil dry thoroughly between waterings; drought tolerant once mature.
Media: Requires a sharply draining mix, ideally sandy or gravelly.
Fertiliser: Feed occasionally with a low-nitrogen fertiliser during the growing season.
Temperature: Hardy to light frost; best protected from extended freezing conditions.
Repotting: Repot infrequently, as this hybrid grows slowly and does not produce offsets.
