Product information

    Mangave plants are captivating architectural wonders, blending the characteristics of Agave and Manfreda to create stunning hybrids. These evergreen perennials boast tight rosettes of pointed leaves, commanding attention in any sunny border, gravel garden, or patio pot. Their bold silhouette and exotic allure make them focal points in drought-prone areas and sandy soils, thriving in dry conditions reminiscent of their Echeveria relatives.


    Among these remarkable succulents, Mangave 'Mission to Mars' stands out with its striking appearance, featuring pointed, arching leaves heavily blotched with burgundy, resembling the red hues of the planet it's named after. With a height of 25cm (10in) and a spread of 55cm (22in), it adds an otherworldly charm to any landscape.


    While hardier than most agaves, mangaves can withstand mild winters in coastal and urban gardens. However, in regions with harsher winters, they benefit from protection in a frost-free greenhouse or conservatory. With their unique blend of beauty and resilience, mangaves offer a captivating addition to any garden or landscape.
