xMangave 'Blazing Saddles' is a 2018 introduction of a new agave x manfreda cross from Walters Gardens, combining xMangave 'Bloodspot' with the spineless, Agave nizandensis of southern Mexico. The small 8" tall x 15" wide rosette is composed of softly serrate, olive-green leaves, adorned with large violet spots that become so concentrated toward the center that the leaf appears red...a truly a stunning specimen that doesn't look real, much like the characters from the movie of the same name.
