(aka: Mangave 14-171-5) xMangave 'Desert Dawn' is a 2019 release from Hans Hansen's work at Walters Gardens. This creation mixes Agave macroacantha and Agave nizandensis with a purple-spotted manfreda. The result is a 9" tall x 17" wide clump with narrow leaves that emerge purple and mature to olive green, highlighted by muted purple spots and an unusual central stripe of purple...sure to start a conversation!
