A beautiful, slow-growing hybrid known for its striking blue-green leaves and glowing red margins. While 'Blue Glow' handles Houston's intense summer sun with ease, it is highly sensitive to moisture. In the Houston metro area, it should not be planted directly in heavy clay; instead, use raised beds with sandy/gritty soil or decorative containers to ensure the fast drainage necessary to prevent rot during our high-humidity months.
Exposure
Full Sun to Light Shade
Height x Width
1-2 feet Tall x 2-3 feet Wide
Water
Low; drought tolerant. Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Zones
8a-11
Fertilization
Minimal; apply a balanced liquid fertilizer once or twice during the spring and summer growing season.
Pruning
Minimal; only remove dead or damaged leaves at the base of the plant.
