Frosted Elegance Mangave

MANGAVE 'Frosted Elegance' PP32289 MAD ABOUT MANGAVE® Collection. 6-8" tall, 12-14" spread, full sun. A dreamy, ethereal looking succulent with unique coloration that you won't want to miss. Silvery blue arching leaves have soft green central bands. The glaucous color is thanks to the waxy film that covers the leaves. A beautiful addition to any garden or container. 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. Deer and rabbit resistant. Slow grower. Zones 9-11. Potted in 3" pot.

These large succulent-esque hybrids retain the excellent heat and drought tolerance of their Agave background, while adding fast growing, tropical attributes from their Manfreda parentage. They can be grown solitary, in the landscape, or in mixed or mono decorative containers. Their tolerance of a wide variety of moisture conditions allows them to be mixed with succulents, annuals, and tropicals. Mangave are perennial in southern zones, with the option of being grown as an annual in northern zones or overwintered as a houseplant.
