Noted for its deep red color, Mangave ‘Red Wing’ is a tender perennial succulent boasting an evergreen rosette of thick, rigid, lance-shaped deep burgundy-red leaves, edged with short creamy teeth and tipped with cinnamon spines. Easy to grow, undemanding, this showy Mangave makes a dramatic focal point or accent in the sunny border and in decorative containers.

  • Grows up to 16-18 in. tall (40-45 cm) and 24-26 in. wide (60-65 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.
