Mangave 'Pineapple Express'
DESCRIPTION
Introducing the exotic and visually striking Mangave 'Pineapple Express', a hybrid marvel that combines the best features of the Manfreda and Agave plants. This unique succulent hails from the rugged landscapes of Mexico and boasts an eye-catching rosette of long, spiky leaves. The foliage is a spectacular display of deep green, embellished with burgundy spots that seem to dance across the surface, and edged with fine, white filaments that add a touch of elegance.
Reaching up to 18 inches in height and width, 'Pineapple Express' makes a bold statement in any setting. Its architectural form is perfect for modern landscapes, rock gardens, or as a stunning centerpiece in a succulent collection. Despite its fierce appearance, the leaves are surprisingly soft to the touch, making it a safe choice for gardens where pets and children play.
Thriving in well-draining soil and under full to partial sun, this low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal care to keep it looking its best. In the warmer months, 'Pineapple Express' may surprise you with a spike of reddish-purple flowers, adding an extra layer of drama to its already captivating presence.
Whether planted in the ground or displayed in a container, Mangave 'Pineapple Express' is sure to bring a tropical flair to any space. Its unique appearance and easy-care nature make it a must-have for succulent enthusiasts and gardeners looking for something truly special.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE
Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
