Mangave "Frosted Elegance"

This dreamy, unique selection produces a rosette of arching, silver-blue succulent leaves with soft green central bands; has a glowing presence in the garden; grown primarily for foliage; a great low-maintenance patio plant.

Frosted Elegance Mangave will grow to be about 8 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 14 inches. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 5 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter, and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

Care: This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil, and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
