Gardening Unplugged - Mangaves: beautiful succulents (Agave x Manfreda) with Jeremy Schmidt

Have you heard of Mangave? These beautiful intergeneric hybrids of Agave and Manfreda were first named in 2005. Unlike Agaves, x Mangaves have softer foliage and monocarpic rosettes that produce basal offsets so the clump doesn't die after flowering. The growth rate of x Mangaves are also up to 3-4 times as fast as Agaves, so they quickly fill a summer container - perfect plants for a colorful sunny succulent patio garden! Learn more about these wonderful perennials from our Grounds and Research Supervisor Jeremy Schmidt.
