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.

‘Pineapple Express’ has a refined, spiky habit that will remind you of the top of a pineapple. The dark green leaves are long and slender, with pronounced burgundy spotting. The spots will be more pronounced when in full sun and exposed to UV light. A waxy coating gives the leaves a minty-green finish. Leaves are packed in tightly to form a spiky rosette. Tiny spines line the margins and a very sharp, cinnamon terminal spine complete the spiky look. Plant this Mangave in a yellow or tan container to complete the pineapple look!
