Mission to Mars Mangave, Mad About Mangave® Collection, PP29393
Noted for its unique color, Mangave ‘Mission to Mars’ is a tender perennial succulent boasting a striking evergreen rosette of thick, arching, lance-shaped green leaves heavily speckled with burgundy red spots. There are so many spots that they bleed into each other to create an almost pure red leaf. The red coloration is particularly stunning in full sun. The edges curl upward to show off the contrasting cinnamon 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.
