Mangave 'Bad Hair Day' PP30279

No one wants a 'Bad Hair Day', except for this one! These zone 7 hardy Mangaves feature narrow, long yucca-like dark green leaves with tiny burgundy spots. In full sun, cooler temperatures or drought, the leaves turn into a kaleidoscope of different colors. Mangaves are a rare intergeneric cross between Manfreda and Agave which allows them to grow twice as fast as typical Agaves and makes them extremely adaptable to all climates as indoor/outdoor plants. Softer longer leaves and adaptability to moisture or drought make them perfect companion plants to other succulents, perennials or annuals.  No teeth or spines provides a more tropical feel.
