    Blue Glow Agave

    Agave 'Blue Glow'

    Blue Glow Agave has a compact form with dramatic blue-green foliage and texture. It's a perfect choice for any low-water design landscape.

    The Golden Barrel Cactus is one of our most sought-after and popular varieties of cacti. Named for its unmistakable shape and bright golden tint, the Golden Barrel Cactus grows very slowly, allowing landscapers to ensure the perfectly round shape stays that way. Each 'ridge' of the cacti is covered in straight, lightly-colored thorns that intensify when in the sunlight.

    As an added spectacle of desert beauty, the Golden Barrel Cactus produces a cluster of yellow flowers from the top of the plant, producing a yellow fruit when ripe. Plant Golden Barrel Cactus in rows, planters, or corners of landscapes to add a uniquely Arizonan touch to your yard.

    Visit any of our Moon Valley Nurseries, and we will be happy to help you handpick the perfect cactus, trees, and other plants that beautify any yard! One of the best ways to increase property value is with a beautiful landscape. Relax while our professional planting crew does all the work!

    "I don't know how many people know this, but the Golden Barrel is a very slow gorwer, so it can be hard to find bigger ones. Not at Moon Valley Nurseries. These guys have so many in different sizes and ended up being the only place i could find the size i needed/wanted for my home. Hightly recommend. BONUS: Use the Desert Juice!"
