In fact, there is a constant taxonomic tug-of-war whether to reclassify manfreda into the genus agave again. Manfreda is also closely related to polianthes...the tuberose.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to their deciduous nature, manfreda are spineless, have fleshy leaves, and many prefer part sun to light shade growing conditions as long as the soil is well-drained. Many manfreda species are prized for their patterned or wavy leaves and they look great in containers or rock gardens. Manfreda clumps are drought-tolerant and topped with tall, thin, spikes in midsummer, each adorned with bizarre flowers that drive hummingbirds crazy.

It was introduced as an xMangave, which it obviously is not. We thought it might be a Beschorneria hybrid, but the flowers didn't confirm that, so we're all left wondering. At this point, it seems most likely an un-named Mexican manfreda species. Regardless, it makes a fascinating garden specimen to 1' tall x 2' wide with glossy, wide, dark purple foliage. The rosettes are topped with 6' tall spikes of tubular yellow flowers in late spring. In the garden, it remains evergreen down to 20 degrees F.
