Both the lavender color and the "freckles" are most pronounced in full sun but it can be plant there or in half day sun in a well-drained soil and given occasional to regular irrigation. Reported to be hardy to around 20°F and useful in USDA Zones 9-10 and noted as resistant to deer and rabbit predation. A great sized plant to combine other smaller succulents in a mixed container planting!

This plant is a 2017 introduction from the Walters Gardens MAD ABOUT MANGAVEŽ Collection of plants bred by Hans Hansen. Mangave 'Freckles and Speckles' is the result of a complex cross involving Agave macroacantha, A. geminiflora, A. pablocarrilloi (AKA Agave gypsophila, Hort.) as well as a couple different Manfreda cultivars. It received U.S. Plant Patent PP30,904 in September 2019. We grew this attractive Mangave from 2018 until 2020. It was a great looking plant as a single but it flowered young and suckered profusely afterwards, which made its appearance not as desirable.
