Mangave™ Night Owl is a rosette forming ‘super size succulent’.
The leaves develop deep blue-black colouring when exposed to high light/UV.
Mangave are a hybrid of the genus Agave and Manfreda. Here
are four reasons these hybrids are better:
Softer, “Less Lethal” Spines
Enjoy the succulent form of Agave without the pokes and scratches. Whether you’re potting, transplanting, working in the garden, or just moving your succulents inside for the winter, Mangave will give you less trouble than the traditional Agave.
Fast Growers
Although it varies by variety, Mangave can be expected to grow twice as fast as an Agave and tolerate high levels of moisture better. If you’re looking for a focal point succulent, Mangave can fill that role for you AND fill out a container without the wait.
Perfect Focal Plant
Whether in the garden or container, Mangave are sure to stand out and require little maintenance. Mangave have the drought resistance of an Agave, extreme sun tolerance and are hardy to approximately -6°C.
More Interesting Colors and Shapes
Thanks to their hybrid parentage, Mangave offer a wide variety of new colors and forms compared to Agave. From the Manfreda side comes the potential for unique foliage spotting, unseen on Agave, as well as wavy and cascading foliage.
