Man of Steel Mangave, Mad About Mangave® Collection, PP29196
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.
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.
