Mangave 'Red Wing' is a striking hybrid plant that combines the best features of its parent species, the Manfreda and Agave. This hybrid is known for its rapid growth and dramatic foliage, making it an appealing choice for succulent enthusiasts. Here are the essential characteristics of Mangave 'Red Wing':

• Common Names: Mangave 'Red Wing'

• Growth Size: Typically grows up to 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide, forming an attractive, low-lying rosette.

• Leaf Characteristics: The leaves are long, slender, and arching with a deep green base color. They are heavily marked with deep burgundy or red spots, which become more pronounced under stress or with increased sunlight exposure. The leaf edges also have small but sharp spines that are typically colored in contrasting red.

• Flowering: Like many in the Agave family, it may produce a tall flower spike after several years, which is a one-time event per rosette. The flowers can attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds.

• Flower Color: The flowers are typically bell-shaped, appearing in shades of greenish-white.

• Sunlight Requirements: Thrives in full sun to partial shade. More sun exposure encourages vivid coloration in the leaves.

• Soil Preference: Requires well-draining soil, particularly a mix designed for cacti and succulents.

• Water Requirements: Drought-tolerant; water infrequently but deeply, allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions.

• Uses: Excellent for use in decorative pots, rock gardens, and as a dramatic ground cover. Its colorful foliage makes it a standout in any succulent collection.

• Propagation: Can be propagated from offsets and occasionally from seed, though like many hybrids, seeds may not be true to the parent plant's characteristics.

Mangave 'Red Wing' is valued for its ease of care, fast growth, and particularly for the vibrant coloration of its foliage, which can add a splash of color to any garden or indoor plant arrangement. It's an ideal choice for those looking to add a low-maintenance yet visually striking plant to their collection.
