Mangave 'Snow Leopard' PP31137: A real standout of a variegated sport! This fun landscaping plant has long, lance-shaped leaves with a bright white outline. More sun exposure will bring out a light speckling of red to pink spots. With plenty of sunshine, it grows quickly and can reach 18.0" tall and 24.0" wide at maturity.
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 the 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 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. Mangave can tolerate a bit more shade and water than regular Agave, especially when they are establishing roots.

No, this one is not safe for pets. Many plants in the genus Crassula contain saponins. The plant makes saponins as a natural insecticide and fungicide, but they will also sicken larger animals too.
