Mangave Bad Hair Day’ Care

If only our bad hair days looked as good as Bad Hair Day Mangave! Like a head of hair, this fun, cooky plant produces narrow, flat lime green leaves that form an arching habit. Its leaf blades have light blush red spotting with a distinct blush toward the tips of the leaves. It looks like it was created for decorative containers, especially face planters. Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda (Century Plant) x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave. They make fun, interesting, and long lived houseplants.
