Description

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.

'Blazing Saddles' grows up to 20 cm tall and 35 cm wide. With its striking green foliage covered in vivid red speckles, it is a bold addition to the Mad about Mangave® collection. In fact, the leaves can develop so many red speckles that they appear almost entirely red, with only green margins remaining. However it chooses to show off, this Mangave is the ultimate bold statement plant, perfect for both indoor and outdoor spaces.
