Mangave Mad About Mangave® 'Bad Hair Day'

Unveil the beauty of this Proven Winners® Mangave 'Bad Hair Day,' a striking addition to the Art & Sol® collection. This succulent herbaceous tender perennial showcases a captivating basal rosette of soft, gracefully arching foliage with long, narrow leaves in a stunning blend of lime green and light blush-red spotting, accentuated in strong ultraviolet light.

Mangave, a remarkable intergeneric cross of Manfreda x Agave, blends the best of both worlds—the robust growth rate and unique patterns of Manfreda combined with the refined habits of Agave. 'Bad Hair Day' elevates gardens, including rock, alpine, waterwise, or xeriscape landscapes. A versatile beauty, its compact form and moderate growth rate make it an excellent choice for a container garden, whether indoors or outdoors, especially in a face planter. And for regions with colder winters, simply bring it indoors, maintaining temperatures above 60°F.

Mangave thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil, adapting seamlessly to dry to average conditions. While young plants appreciate moderate moisture, it's crucial to avoid extremes—overly wet or extremely dry conditions. Established plants, however, exhibit impressive drought tolerance, thriving with a slightly dry approach in winter. 'Bad Hair Day' not only resists deer and rabbits but stands as the hardiest mangave to date.
