What arrives
Blue Flame Agave has smoother leaf margins than many traditional agave varieties, making it a softer-looking option for modern landscapes and container gardens.
Although less aggressive than some agaves, the leaf tips may still have small terminal points, so avoid planting directly near walkways or tight spaces.
