Agave Blue Flame

Agave Blue Flame is a visually appealing and low-maintenance succulent that is ideal for those looking to add a cool blue hue to their garden. When planting, select a location with well-draining soil and full sun exposure. The Blue Flame Agave prefers dry, hot conditions and can withstand drought, making it an excellent choice for those living in arid areas.  Provide light shade in hot inland climates to prevent scorching of the leaves. Pruning is not required.

When planting, make sure to dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the agave's root ball. Fill the hole with some porous soil, like Kellogg Palm & Cactus Mix, and place the agave in it then add the remaining soil, making sure to compact the soil around the plant's base. Thoroughly water to help the soil settle around the roots.

Agave Blue Flame is a drought-tolerant succulent and low maintenance. Water only when the soil is completely dry. Excessive water will lead to rot. Avoid watering your Agave Blue Flame leaves from overhead. The water can wash off the waxy, chalky surface and alter the color of your Blue Flame.  

Agaves are monocarpic plants, which means they only flower once when they reach maturity and then the rosette will eventually die when the flower is done blooming. The plant can remain in flower for a long period of time. Agaves may produce offsets or pups before dying, which will continue to grow until they flower. Agave Blue Flame can produce pups and develop into large clumps that you will enjoy in your garden for a long time.

A: Like the Fox Tail Agave, Blue Flame has soft pliable leaves, but the green-leafed Fox Tail Agave has smooth margins whereas Blue Flame’s blue-green leaves have finely serrated teeth on the leaf margins.
