Descrizione

A revolution in plant breeding! As an intergeneric hybrid, Mad about Mangave® combines the very best of both parent plants: the toughness and bold, architectural form of Agave with the unique colours and striking patterns of Manfreda. The softer spines, also inherited from Manfreda, make Mad about Mangave® easy to handle. The Mad about Mangave® collection offers a wide range of varieties with fascinating shapes and eye-catching colours.

Mad about Mangave® varieties are fast growers. Once they have reached the desired size, water sparingly. Mangaves thrive in a sunny spot, where their vibrant colours and distinctive leaf patterns develop to their fullest. Mad about Mangave® looks stunning as a specimen plant in a pot or container and is also perfect for mixed succulent arrangements. Plant Mad about Mangave® in well-drained soil. Ideal for patios, balconies, or as a houseplant. Hardy down to -5 °C, it is best to bring the plant indoors during the winter months, allowing you to continue enjoying it inside as well.

‘Silver Fox’ is a stunning and exceptional variety in a colour that you wouldn't expect to see in a Mangave! Just like the white fur of a silver fox, this succulent glows nearly white when you first glance at it. In reality, it's more of a light green covered with a thick waxy coating to give it that glowing colour. Light blue-purple spotting appears underneath the coating, but is mostly unnoticeable from a distance. In addition to its wonderful colour 'Silver Fox' has a magnificent habit with thick, arching leaves and defined marginal teeth.
