Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is an interesting plant. We didn't know A. 'Green Glow' existed. It's very similar to A. 'Blue Glow' with the orange margins but has green foliage.
Agave ‘Green Glow’ forms one beautifully symmetrical, solitary rosette rather than forming clusters of many smaller rosettes. The rosettes have smooth, green foliage with red margins and few spines.
