Mangave ‘Permanent Wave’ PP (Manfreda x Agave hybrid)
Mangave is a new intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. It has faster growth and interesting patterns like the Manfreda but the superior habit of the Agave. ‘Permanent Wave’ is the largest silver mangave to date. The massive leaves can exceed 6” wide at maturity and the plant usually reaches 18-20” tall and up to 3’ wide. Cinnamon-colored terminal spines contrast the silver leaves. Due to its parentage, ‘Permanent Wave’ is one of the hardiest mangaves. It can be planted in the garden in zone 7b and higher or grown in a large container in colder zones. This fast-growing succulent adds visual delight to any low maintenance, drought-tolerant garden.
