Description: Blue Flame Agave Blue Flame Agave is a large evergreen succulent with beautiful, curved leaves. It is a hybrid between the Agave shawii and Agave attenuata plants, and it can grow to be up to 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide when it is fully matured. It has a beautiful blue-green color with frosted-colored leaves. Typically, the Blue Flame Agave grows in sandy and gravelly soils in full sun, but it can also tolerate partial sun. In the winter, it can survive in areas as cold as 25° F. It is native to Mexico and the Southwest United States, so it grows extraordinarily well in dry climates with high temperatures.The flower of the Blue Flame Agave is a mix of yellow and green, and they infrequently bloom during the summer. The flowers grow in a stalk in the center of the plant and are edible, both cooked and raw. It takes several weeks for them to bloom, and they open from the base of the flower to the tip.USDA hardiness zones 8 through 11 are best suited for Blue Flame Agave, but it can grow in nearly any hot and dry climate.The agave plant leaves are filled with sap, and they can be eaten raw. It has a sweet flavor, much like molasses. It can replace sugar or honey in recipes for a sweet and organic alternative. They can also be roasted or boiled, and the juice can be used as a soup. Before making soup, test a little bit of the leaf first because it can be too bitter to eat. They should be harvested in the winter and the spring.Both the stalk of the flower and the actual flower are edible as well. Before the plant blooms, the stalk is often roasted and eaten, and it has a similar flavor to the sap in the leaves. Therefore, they should be harvested just before summer begins. Once you remove the stalk, the space will fill with sap that you can use to make tequila.The Blue Flame Agave plant flowers are green and white, and they grow together in clumps. Once they bloom, they can be used in salads by either roasting or boiling them. Its nectar can also make sauces and sugars, lasting up to two years.!!!!Damaged leaves or small branch breakage can be a normal part of the shipping process and does not affect the health of the plant.
