Mangave ‘Snow Leopard’

Description

Common Name: Mangave

MAD ABOUT MANGAVE® Collection

This variegated sport of ‘Jaguar’ has the long, lance-shaped leaves of the parent but with creamy white margins. Some cherry red spotting will be seen up close along the margins, but the bright variegation appears clear from a distance. Compared to ‘Kaleidoscope’, this has white margins (versus yellow) and dark spots cover the leaves and are pink when on the margin. UV light enhances the spots.

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.
