Mangave Pineapple Express - 5ga

Mangave "Pineapple Express" forms rosettes 18 inches tall and spreading 2 feet wide. Its slender, dark olive green leaves boast a glaucous minty overlay, peppered with burgundy spots, most concentrated at the core. The upward-reaching leaves feature tiny teeth and a cinnamon-hued terminal spine, reminiscent of a pineapple's structure. Ideal for well-drained soil in full to partial sunlight, occasional to regular watering enhances its burgundy spotting. Cold-hardy down to the mid-20s°F, it thrives in USDA Zones 9 and above. Slow to offset, it maintains symmetry, making it an eye-catching choice for gardens or containers. 'Pineapple Express' results from a cross between Mangave 'Bloodspot' and Mangave 'Jaguar'.
