'Lavender Lady'
Mangave 'Lavender Lady' is an evergreen succulent that adds a touch of elegance and intrigue to any garden. This rosette-forming beauty features fleshy, silver-green leaves that are elegantly pointed, creating a strong architectural presence. As the plant matures, the leaves take on a stunning red to lavender-purple hue at the tips, adding a dash of colour to its otherwise subtle foliage. Mangave 'Lavender Lady' is perfect for those who appreciate plants with character, bringing both beauty and structure to any planting scheme.
Ideal for sunny spots and well-drained soil, Mangave 'Lavender Lady' is a low-maintenance addition to your garden or container collection. Its slow-growing nature means it won’t quickly outgrow its space, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens or those looking for a plant that evolves gracefully over time. The pointed, spiny leaves add texture, while the rich colours deepen with age, ensuring this succulent remains a striking feature for years to come. Whether planted in rock gardens, containers, or as part of a mixed border, Mangave 'Lavender Lady' will reward you with its subtle elegance and resilience. Perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners, this unique succulent is a true conversation starter.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
