Agave ‘Blue Flame’

Agave attenuata ‘Blue Flame’
Family: Asparagaceae (Agavoideae)
Common Name: Blue Flame Agave
Origin: Hybrid selection; Rancho Tissue tissue-cultured form
Description:
Agave ‘Blue Flame’ is a graceful, clumping hybrid known for its elegant form and smooth, sculptural leaves. Named for both its cool blue coloration and the way its leaf tips curve inward like a rising flame, this cultivar offers a softer, more refined presence than many traditional agaves.

Each individual rosette grows 2.5 to 3 feet tall and wide, with flexible, blue-green leaves that lack marginal spines and end in a single terminal tip. As plants mature, they slowly form dense clumps that can reach 5 feet or more across—making them an excellent massing plant or architectural feature. The blue hue is enhanced by a glaucous waxy cuticle that lends the leaves a luminous, almost ethereal finish.
