Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Mangave 'Moonglow' has glowing, icy blue foliage mottled with purple spots. The leaves are held straight and horizontal. It is an intergeneric hybrid between Manfreda and Agave with characteristics intermediate between the two parents. From Agave comes stout, rigid leaves with small teeth along the leaf edges all held in a tight, symmetrical rosette. From Manfreda comes burgundy speckling and burgundy colouration of the leaf edges. Together these characteristics make one dramatic little succulent! Plant in sharp drainage or in a container protected from winter rain. In colder areas bring in as a winter houseplant.

Another otherworldly hybrid from plant breeder Hans Hansen. This stunning succulent 2' wide rosette 6" tall of narrow silvery-blue leaves splotched with large deep purple spots, reminiscent of Pandoran flora. Tolerates part sun but more sun = more intense color. Tolerates drought but better with occasional summer water. Newly introduced so guessing cold hardiness in zone 9 possibly lower. Great fast growing patio plant where not hardy.
