Describing xMangave 'Painted Desert' is like trying to quantify the colors of a desert sunset. This fascinating mangave was created by plant breeder Hans Hansen by combining the genes of two Mexican agave species, Agave macroacantha and Agave nizandensis, with the purple spotting from a manfreda. Each long, narrow, rubbery leaf of the 1' tall x 2' wide clump is olive green and heavily spotted purple, on top of the muted gold central band...a fascinating color blend!
