  •   Mangave 'Red Wing' is a stunning succulent hybrid that combines the best traits of Manfreda and Agave plants. This architectural drought tolerant plant was developed through careful crossbreeding to create a low maintenance specimen that thrives in challenging conditions.

      Mangave 'Red Wing' displays distinctive sword-shaped leaves arranged in tight rosettes, showcasing deep red to burgundy coloration that intensifies in bright light. The thick, fleshy foliage features smooth edges and a waxy surface that creates an eye-catching architectural form. This burgundy succulent typically reaches 12-18 inches tall and wide, making it perfect for dramatic focal points in containers or landscape designs.

      Mangave 'Red Wing' produces tall flower spikes with tubular blooms in late spring to early summer, though flowering is infrequent and typically occurs only on mature plants. The plant tolerates dry heated air exceptionally well and handles drafty spots better than most houseplants, making it ideal for challenging indoor environments.

      This xeriscape plant excels both indoors and outdoors, thriving in everything from direct sun to surprisingly low-light conditions. Mangave 'Red Wing' can move outside for summer months but needs cover from rain to prevent root rot. Garden enthusiasts and collectors prize this manfreda agave cross for its ability to survive 10-day trips alone and its striking presence in succulent arrangements.

  •   Mangave 'Red Wing' thrives in direct sun to low-light but scorches in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Mangave 'Red Wing' deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Mangave 'Red Wing' grows best in well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix with excellent drainage.

      Mangave 'Red Wing' tolerates temperatures from 50-90°F (10-32°C) and handles brief cold snaps to 25°F (-4°C).

      Mangave 'Red Wing' grows slowly and requires minimal fertilizer, just diluted cactus food once monthly in spring.

      Mangave 'Red Wing' thrives in USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and can tolerate brief frosts down to 25°F (-4°C). This makes it suitable for year-round outdoor growing in Florida, Texas, California, Arizona, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Nevada, and the warmer coastal areas of North Carolina and Oregon. Gardeners in slightly cooler zones like southern Tennessee, Arkansas, and parts of Oklahoma can also grow Mangave 'Red Wing' outdoors with winter protection or by bringing containers indoors during cold spells.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
