Product Description
Mangave 'Navajo Princess' PP31136 - MAD ABOUT MANGAVE Collection (72)ct Flat
Common Name: Mangave
This succulent is one of our personal favorites with its clear and consistent variegation. Wide, cream margins are contrasted by deep blue-green centers. The rigid leaves form a relatively low horizontal habit that frames a container quite nicely. Minimal spotting near the crown is secondary to the bright green and cream color. Compared to 'Snow Leopard', 'Navajo Princess' have thicker, more heavily toothed leaves.
Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x 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. We are very excited (shall we say mad?) about our new hybrids from Walters Gardens hybridizing.
Mangave is a tender perennial or "temperennial" succulent plant that grows best in full sun. Plant in well-drained, dry to average soil in containers just slightly wider than the width of the rosette or plant directly in the ground. In summer when the plants are actively growing, they appreciate a bit of supplemental watering and half-strength fertilizer. They should be grown dry in winter. Mangave is a slower grower, so it will not quickly overtake the space it is allotted in the landscape.
