Boost your xeriscape with this 4 pack of MicroStarts Agave 'Blue Flame' - a monocarpic, low-maintenance, evergreen succulent! This agave hybrid features gracefully incurved, blue-green leaves that are wide and fibrous, creating a striking “blue flame” effect with their flowing shape. It grows upright and spreading, eventually producing a tall flowering stalk after 10 to 15 years, though the plant dies after flowering. New growth comes from basal offsets, which can form dense clumps up to 6–8 feet wide if not thinned.
