This plant should be placed to grow at eye level at a place it can be viewed with sunlight behind it with the plant between viewpoint and sun. Sunrise or sunset veiwable is best.

Relatively fast growing cultivar Agave. This plant should be placed with a view of sunset or sunrise allowing it to form a 'glowing' silhouette against the brightness - hence the name "Blue Glow"

I planted this "Blue Glow" about a year ago in Phoenix area and it is doing very well. Love the color of the edges.

"Blue Glow" agave will grow and look better in the Sonora Desert when protected from full day summer sun.
