Resembling a blue flame with its gracefully incurved leaf, Agave 'Blue Flame' is an evergreen succulent perennial which produces elegant rosettes of flexible blue-green leaves with finely serrated margins and a terminal spine. This desirable hybrid combines some of the best qualities of its parents: graceful form, beautiful color of Agave attenuata; enhanced hardiness, terminal spine and finely serrated margins of Agave shawii. This Agave rarely flowers. It makes a dramatic focal point or accent and can be used in decorative pots.

• Grows up to 2-3 ft. tall (60-90 cm) and 3-4 ft. wide (90-120 cm).
• Easily grown in slightly acidic, sandy or gravelly, moist or dry, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates part shade, particularly in hot desert gardens where light shade will prevent scorching of the foliage. Keep in a frost-free area in winter and put it out on the patio or balcony in summer. Irrigate little or regularly for more vigor. Drought tolerant.
• Great for beds and borders, city gardens, coastal gardens, rock gardens, succulent gardens or Mediterranean gardens. Ideal as an accent plant in sunny borders or in decorative containers.
• Deer resistant
• Virtually disease free. Watch for slugs and snails.
