Agave ‘Blue Flame’

Agave ‘Blue Flame’ – Flowing Form, Striking Color

The Agave ‘Blue Flame’ (Genus: Agave) gets its name from the beautiful flame-like shape of its leaves — long, smooth, elegantly curved, and glowing with cool blue-green coloration. When light hits this plant, the entire rosette looks almost illuminated, giving any space a refined, sculptural focal point.

This hybrid agave combines beauty, symmetry, and exceptional durability. It thrives equally well in the landscape or in decorative pots, making it a favorite for modern homes, desert-style gardens, coastal landscapes, and collectors looking for low-maintenance sophistication.

• Graceful, soft-leafed architecture compared to sharper agave varieties
• Blue-green glow that intensifies in sunlight
• Drought-tolerant & low maintenance
• Excellent container specimen or landscape centerpiece
• Cold hardy to around the mid–20°F range (with protection)
