Two new Agaves from Rancho Tissue are sure to drive sales for growers everywhere.
Produced from tissue culture, Agave pygmae ‘Dragon Toes’ was chosen for its red tips and chunky thick leaves. Also each leaf of this seed selection has a very distinct imprint on it, which imparts even more drama to the plant. This dwarf blue Agave is great for small gardens. Plants only grow to 12″ max.
Agave hybrid ‘Blue Flame’ was named for both the blue in its foliage and the shape of the plant, which resembles a gas flame with its gracefully 
incurved leaf tips. Produced from tissue culture, this is a beautiful succulent that forms clumps with rosettes that individually are 2 1/2 feet tall by to 3 feet wide. Older clumps build up to form large dense masses to up to 5 feet tall or more. The flexible blue-green leaves feature spineless margins and only a terminal spine. The blue cast to the leaves forms from a waxy cuticle that covers the surface. Plant in full sun except in hot inland and desert gardens, where light shade will prevent scorching of the foliage. Irrigate little or regularly for more vigor. Hardy to at least 25 F.
