Mangave
'Pineapple Punch'
Mangave 'Pineapple Punch' is the sort of succulent that looks as though it has dressed for a garden party with admirable confidence. Its narrow, architectural leaves form a crisp rosette, each blade brushed in smoky green, peppered with burgundy freckles and edged in warm coral-pink, like a pineapple with far better manners. Compact yet gloriously showy, Mangave 'Pineapple Punch' brings instant structure to patio pots, gravel gardens and sunny borders, where its colour becomes richer in bright light. Happily drought tolerant once established, it asks for free-draining soil, a sheltered spot and not much fuss, which feels very reasonable for something this decorative.
Use Mangave 'Pineapple Punch' as a living sculpture among terracotta, pale stone or dark-leaved companions, where its speckled foliage can do the charmingly dramatic thing without elbowing everyone else aside. In summer, mature plants may produce a tall flower spike, but the real performance is in the year-round foliage. Mangave 'Pineapple Punch' is especially useful for gardeners who enjoy exotic-looking plants but prefer them civilised: water sparingly, protect from hard frost and bring container-grown plants under cover in colder weather. With its fruity name and fierce little silhouette, Mangave 'Pineapple Punch' delivers a spirited splash of colour that remains neat, sculptural and surprisingly easy to place.

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.
