Something completely different for your Mangrave collection! One of the ‘MAD ABOUT MANGAVE®’ Series, Mangrave ‘Praying Hands’ is an extraordinary departure from the usual star-shaped rosettes. Each dark green, scale-like leaf curls upwards into the elegant form of an artichoke. The tip of each leaf is finished with a maroon spine, the spines converging at the top where the artichoke comes to a point.
Boasting the architectural qualities of an Agave, but much faster growing, Mangave ‘Blazing Saddles’ makes a striking succulent specimen for a conservatory or patio pot. This indoor/outdoor plant represents a revolution in plant breeding. Mangave is a hybrid cross between an Agave and Manfreda, hardier than an Agave, faster-growing, lacking those vicious spikes and with a fuller, tighter rosette like an Echeveria. Drought tolerant, it will require little watering and can be grown outside all year 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. Use it as a striking focal specimen on its own or combine it with other succulents and tropical bedding for a really wow-factor display. Height: 20cm (8in). Spread: 35cm (14in).
