Mangave Inkblot PP 29431 Ligularia and a very well-draining soilxMangave 'Inkblot' is another Walters Gardens hybrid between agave and manfreda, this one involving Manfreda undulata, Manfreda maculosa, and Agave macroacantha. The result is a small plant to 8" tall x 20" wide with 1. 5" wide, pliable glaucous green leaves, overlain with a heavy dose of dark purple ink blotches superb in a container, and great as a groundcover in warm temperate climates. At 16F, our garden specimen overwintered in good shape.
