MBN 1Gal Agave 'Blue Glow'

'Blue Glow' young plant at Quail Botanic Gardens this is a compact, rather hard form, to 2-3' tall and wide, with deep blue green leaves with a glaucous cast and a very symmetrical, even habit. Its leaves have a single terminal spine only. It is the result of crossing A. attenuata with A. ocahui (usually pronounced oh-ka-hooey). Its leaves are wider than A. ocahui but smaller than A. attenuata. Richard Ward from the Dry Garden decribes it as "gorgeous, immaculate, without a single bad leaf after ten years. [He's right!] It has perfect symmetry, people really notice it in the garden." You can see that in our picture from Quail. Somewhat limited supply. rev 1/2012
