Description

Mangave Pineapple Express

APPEARANCE : Pineapple Express is a hardy succulent with long, spear-shaped, minty-blue-green foliage speckled with dark purple spots. Leaf edges are lined with little spikes, and the leaf tip is sharp too. Mangave® is a new range of Agave hybrids, inheriting big bold shapes and resilient sturdiness from one parent, and fast growth and a wide range of colours and markings from the other.
USE FOR : Accent and specimen planting, landscaping and poolside, rockeries, waterwise gardens, also suited to containers.
CLIMATE : Drought hardy. Needs a temperature over 15C
PLANTING : Plant in full sun to part shade in free-draining soil, ideally sandy and light. Mangaves like lots of light; too little light will reduce leaf colour as well as growth rate. If you are planting in a pot choose one slightly wider than the width of the plant.
CARE : Water regularly but sparingly for faster growth, especially during the warmer months; water very little to keep your Mangave small. Fertilise yearly in early summer using a slow release fertiliser for succulents.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 30 - 60 cm H x 30 - 60 cm W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
