Mangave Pineapple Express

Mangave ‘Pineapple Express’ – Tropical Elegance in a Sculptural Rosette

(Manfreda × Agave Hybrid)**

Infuse your garden or collection with vibrant tropical energy through Mangave ‘Pineapple Express’, a striking hybrid that unites the bold structure of Agave with the captivating patterns of Manfreda. This unique plant forms a sleek, upright rosette of slender green leaves, each dramatically speckled with rich burgundy spots that intensify with sunlight. Resembling the crown of a pineapple, this Mangave offers a playful yet sophisticated look that instantly elevates any setting.

Key Features

• Distinctive Foliage – Long, narrow leaves painted with deep burgundy speckles that deepen under bright sun, creating incredible contrast and dimension.

• Textured Drama – Fine marginal spines and a cinnamon-toned terminal spine add sculptural detail and a touch of boldness.

• Compact Rosette Form – The tight, upright rosette mimics a pineapple crown, making it a stunning centerpiece for pots, patios, and modern garden designs.

• Faster Growth – Grows more quickly than traditional Agave, offering lush visual appeal in a shorter time.

• Drought-Tolerant & Low-Maintenance – Thrives with minimal watering, making it ideal for collectors seeking beauty without the effort.

Ideal For

• Sun-Drenched Gardens – Colours become more vibrant in full sun.

• Xeriscapes & Rock Gardens – Perfect for water-wise, rocky, or desert-inspired landscapes.

• Container Planting – Makes a show-stopping feature in pots, patios, and indoor bright-light spots.

Care Tips

• Light: Full sun to partial shade; more sun enhances the spotting and overall colour.

• Water: Deep, infrequent watering; always allow soil to dry out completely.

• Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.

• Temperature: Protect from frost; ideal for warm or sheltered outdoor areas.

• Fertiliser: Light feeding during the growing season encourages richer colour and stronger form.
