Mangave 'Man of Steel' is a tender perennial succulent boasting a ground-hugging evergreen rosette of narrow, flexible, sword-like, silvery green leaves flecked with purple spots. They are beautifully lined with cinnamon-orange edges and tipped with matching long terminal spines. Easy to grow and undemanding, this Mangave makes a dramatic focal point or accent in the sunny border and in decorative containers.

• Grows up to 6-8 in. tall (15-20 cm) and 12-16 in. wide (30-40 cm).
• Performs best in full sun in dry to average, well-drained soils. In summer when the plant is actively growing, provide supplemental watering and half-strength fertilizer. Keep it dry in winter. Drought tolerant once established.
• Great for beds and borders, rock gardens, succulent gardens or Mediterranean gardens. Ideal as an accent plant in sunny borders or in decorative containers.
• Deer and rabbit resistant

Mangave is a cross between the genus Manfreda and 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.
