Highlights
Mangave 'Falling Waters' PP30650 (Hansen): A particularly sculptural plant that adds interest to any landscape. The wavy, blue-green leaves on this unique Mangave cascade down the plant like water from a fountain. Each leaf has faint, burgundy spots that are more pronounced when grown in full sun. The leaves fold upward to display heavily toothed margins. Showcase the arching habit of this premium Mangave potted or in a border for a low-maintenance patio plant. This cultivar is a hybrid of Agave ovatifolia x Manfreda mpaculosa.
Please Note: Mature plant photos are reference only; plants will be shipped as a 1.5" rooted plug without a pot. Some plugs have a plastic netting around their roots that should be removed before planting.
Mangave are a relatively new phenomenon: a cross between Manfreda and Agave. These rare cultivars are expertly hybridized by Hans Hansen of Walters Gardens to combine the best of both parents. Though the have a similar form to a typical Agave, they are marked with spots and flush brilliant purple and red tones when grown in bright sun. Additionally, they grow about twice as fast as Agave and are far less spiny to the touch.
This variety will tolerate temperatures down to about 5F if kept very dry or sheltered under a roof. They can also overwinter indoors 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. Mangave can tolerate a bit more shade and water than regular Agave, especially when they are establishing roots.
