Common Name: Cameron Blue Agave

Description:
Agave potatorum ‘Cameron Blue’ is one of the most refined and visually striking agaves in the Rancho Tissue collection. Selected for its perfectly scalloped leaf form and vivid powdery blue coloration, this compact rosette-forming species offers exceptional ornamental value in both containers and landscape settings.

Each broad, slightly cupped leaf displays pronounced undulating edges with deep leaf imprints, giving the plant a sculptural, almost hand-carved quality. The overall form is symmetrical and dense, with dark terminal spines contrasting against the pale blue foliage—creating a clean, high-drama silhouette from every angle.

  • Sunlight: Full sun to part shade; brighter light enhances color
  • Heat Tolerance: High, with good airflow
  • Humidity: Performs best in dry climates with excellent drainage

Planting & Care Tips:

  • Soil: Needs fast-draining sandy or gritty soil
  • Watering: Water sparingly; allow to dry between deep soakings
  • Growth Rate: Moderate; benefits from heat and light moisture
  • Maintenance: Minimal; remove old leaves as needed
  • Container Use: Exceptional specimen for small pots or raised planters
