Description
Common Name: Mangave
MAD ABOUT MANGAVE® Collection
This variety of Mangave has the look of a moonlit night. 1″ wide, silvery blue-green leaves practically glow with huge, contrasting dark purple spots to complete the effect. The spots will be a darker when exposed to UV light from the sun. The long, flat leaves are held rigidly straight from the base, forming a low, wide, and spiky habit. Tiny spines line the margins and terminal spines are relatively soft to the touch.
Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave.
