x Mangave 'Black Magic' PPAF - A very dark succulent with rosettes to 10 inches tall by 2 feet wide with flat to slightly guttered lance shaped leaves that are slightly decurved towards the tips and have lighter colored soft teeth along the margin. These leaves are so heavily spotted with dark purple to make the entire plant look a black purple color when grown in bright light. Plant in full to half day sun in a well-drained soil and give occasional to regular irrigation - the brighter the light the more pronounced the burgundy spotting Cold hardiness on this variety is not well documented but it is thought to be hardy and evergreen down to the mid 20s° F and useful in USDA Zones 9 and above. A great looking plant in a container or in the garden where the climate is mild in winter. 'Black Magic' was introduced in 2020 as part of Walters Gardens Mad About Mangave Collection and is a complex Manfreda and Agave hybrid created by Hans Hansen.
