Description

Mangave are strikingly architectural plants that are hybrids between Agave and Manfreda, combining the best qualities of both. These fleshy evergreen perennials form a tight rosette of pointed leaves, giving a bold silhouette that will become the centre of attention in any sunny border, gravel garden or patio pot! Exuding a truly exotic feel and thriving on dry conditions, these Echeveria-like succulents are perfect for drought-prone areas and tricky sandy soils. Mangave 'Silver Fox' is a stunning, almost ethereal-looking variety boasting a ghostly silver rosette of thick, pointed, arching leaves with defined toothed margins – a superb specimen plant. Height: 25cm (10in). Spread: 45cm (18in).

Mangaves are hardier than most agaves and can be grown outside all year round in areas with very mild winters such as coastal and city gardens, but like most tender perennials, will otherwise need to be brought into a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory over winter.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Grow Mangave in a container using very free-draining soil or cactus compost. Grow in full sun outside or within a few metres of a south-facing window in a conservatory/glasshouse maintaining a temperature of 8° - 32°C (46° - 90°F). Mangave can be grown outdoors in the UK between spring and summer as a patio plant or planted in a free-draining, sunny border as perennial bedding.

Water regularly in summer but allow the compost to almost completely dry out between waterings following a 'drenches between droughts' regime. Feed every 2 months in the growing season with a cactus fertiliser. Keep dry in winter. Except in very mild areas they will need to be brought indoors over winter.

Repot every 3 years or so, moving up into a pot just slightly bigger than the previous one. Mangaves can be propagated very easily from offsets that form around the base.
