Mangave ‘Praying Hands’
Mangave 'Praying Hands' (PP34,508) is a stunning, upright rosette-forming succulent prized for its compact, highly architectural habit and unique, artichoke-like form. This slow-growing intergeneric hybrid (a cross between Manfreda and Agave) features dark green leaves that curl upward and inward, creating a narrow, upright, praying-hands silhouette. Each leaf is accented with a cinnamon-brown terminal spine and narrow reddish margins that beautifully define the rosette. Exceptionally drought-tolerant, heat-loving, and deer-resistant, it is an outstanding choice as a specimen, container accent, or focal point in modern, dry gardens, and rock garden plantings.
