Agave ‘Blue Glow’ - Of all the Agaves available at Peacock Horticultural Nursery, I think Agave ‘Blue Glow’ has to be one of my favorites.  Developed by Kelly Griffin, this is supposedly a cross between Agave ocahui and Agave attenata.  The beautiful blue-green leaves are outlined in red and translucent yellow with a red terminal spine. This Agave rarely pups and will ultimately reach its maximum size at about 2′ x 2′.  Not totally sure of the hardiness yet.  I overwintered mine in an unheated hoop house and experienced low temperatures to about 25 F last winter.   This elegant Agave is quite  beautiful in a pot with the sun shining through the translucent yellow margins. $18.00
