Description

We are very excited to introduce Mangave, a very cool intergeneric cross of Manfreda and Agave, combining the better growth rate and interesting coloration and patterns of Manfreda with the refined habit of Agave. Mangave is a perennial succulent plant that can be grown outdoors in the ground in USDA Zone 8-10, or in pots that can be left outdoors year round in Zones 9-10 but that will need to be overwintered indoors in Zones 8 and further north. They thrive in well-drained, dry to average soil and 7 hours or more of direct sun for best coloration and overall growth.

‘Lavender Lady’ Mangave is a feminine looking beauty that in direct sunlight forms a solitary rosette, similar to Echeveria, of smoky purple leaves with subdued burgundy-purple dots. In full sun (7 hours or more per day), as the rosette ages the smoky purple leaves are formed at the top of the rosette and lower leaves become grey-green, for an attractive two-tone effect. Each leaf has a cinnamon brown terminal spine and the margins are lined with tiny white benign spines that feel like a comb. In pots or the ground, Lavender Lady is sure to be a conversation piece!

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 16 inches wide, the Lady Lavender Mangave is ideal for use as an accent in small spaces and as a solo or combined with other plants with low water needs in containers, or in groupings in larger spaces. It looks very nice and right at home around rocks and boulders. A fine addition to rock gardens, succulent gardens, purple theme gardens, tropical look gardens, and Xeriscape Gardens (low water needs). We like combining Mangave with other low water need plants such as sedums and other succulents, junipers, barberry, abelia, and ornamental grasses.

Suggested Spacing: 3 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 10b. For those who live and garden north of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 9, Mangave can grown in outdoors in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Mangave plants are easy to grow in the ground or in containers. Either way, they require a well-drained soil of average to low fertility and at least 7 hours or more of sunlight per day for best growth and coloration. As with most other succulent plants, they don’t like wet feet and have good drought tolerance when established. In containers, during summer when the plants are actively growing, they appreciate a bit of supplemental watering and half-strength fertilizer.

Note: Plant as you would a Yucca plant. For helpful advice provided by our experts, click on the Planting & Care tab above on desktops and below on mobile phones.
