Mangaves

A Mangave (more properly written ×Mangave) is a hybrid between a Manfreda and an Agave, and hybridizer Hans Hansen has been busy creating a whole assortment of them. Pictured are three of these planted at the Ruth Bancroft Garden: ‘Desert Dragon’, ‘Inkblot’, and ‘Mission to Mars’. The last one is getting redder as it increases in size, much to our delight. The purple spots and blotches are from the Manfreda part of the parentage, and they certainly give the plants some pizzazz!
