Description
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.

Useful information
-
Soak the Mangave 'Lavender Lady' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting
Plant your bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost within a week of delivery and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
