Mangave 'Snow Leopard' is a variegated form which has the long, lance-shaped leaves of the parent (Mangave 'Jaguar') but with creamy White margins.
Some Cherry Red spotting exists along the margins, but the bright variegation appears clear from a distance. Compared to 'Kaleidoscope', this has White margins (versus Yellow) and dark spots cover the leaves and are Pink when on the margin. UV light enhances the spots.
Mangave is a relatively new phenomenon, an intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave. These rare hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the better growth rate and the interesting patterns of Manfreda, and the habit and refinement of Agave.
Care: Mangave is a tender perennial or "temperennial" succulent plant that grows best in full sun. Plant in well-drained, dry to average soil in containers just slightly wider than the width of the rosette or plant directly in the ground. In summer when the plants are actively growing, they appreciate a bit of supplemental watering and half-strength fertilizer. They should be grown dry in winter.
