Hansara 'Jumping Jacks' PP31628: A fun new hybrid for the garden! This cultivar crosses Manfreda, Agave, and Polianthes genes for a fantastic outcome. The foliage has a silver blue-green base tone with a copper sheen appearing with more sun exposure. It gets its name from its upright growth habit, with long, narrow leaves thrown straight up like arms. At maturity, this variety can reach 14.0" tall and 24.0" in diameter.
Please Note: Mature plant photos are reference only; plants will be shipped as a 1.5" rooted plug with packing netting that should be removed before planting.
xHansara is a relatively new phenomenon: a cross between Manfreda, Agave, and Polianthes. These rare cultivars are expertly hybridized by Hans Hansen of Walters Gardens to combine the best of all three parents. Though the have a similar appearance to a typical Mangave, they have a more upright growth habit and flexible leaves. Additionally, they grow about twice as fast as Agave and are far less spiny to the touch.
This variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow temporarily on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They thrive outdoors in partial to full sun with good drainage, i.e. gritty soil and containers with drainage holes. Hansara can tolerate a bit more shade and water than regular Agave, especially when they are establishing roots.
