{"product_id":"blue-glow-agave-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Blue Glow Agave - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue Glow forms a single, beautifully symmetrical rosette rather than clusters of smaller ones. Its chalky blue-green leaves are edged in deep red and yellow bands that glow when backlit by the afternoon sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a fairly small agave, 1 to 2 feet tall, so it fits nicely in containers and rock gardens. The leaves are smooth, with only tiny soft teeth along the edges and a short red tip spine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth, fleshy, lance-shaped leaves are a chalky blue-green, each edged with a thin deep red line backed by a narrow yellow band, lined with tiny soft teeth and tipped with a short red spine. The leaves radiate from the center in a single, perfectly symmetrical rosette 12 to 24 inches tall and 24 to 36 inches wide. When backlit, the red and yellow margins glow like neon outlines. The rosette looks like a large, open blue-green star.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike lavender, it wants full sun and sharp drainage, so set it in a container on a gravel patio or among the lavender beds for summer, where its blue-gray rosette echoes lavender's foliage, then move it indoors for winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in lean, very fast-draining soil and water only when dry. Hardy in zones 8 to 10. In the Great Lakes region, grow it in a pot of fast-draining cactus mix and bring it indoors to a bright, cool window before frost; water deeply only when the soil is completely dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agave\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rarely flowers (once after many years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chalky blue-green with red and yellow margins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single, symmetrical rosette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–24 in tall × 24–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8–10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
