The Bad Hair Day Mangave is an attractive, low-maintenance plant, ready to elevate any garden, container, or yard. It has a cascading, arching effect like hair, hence the name!

With its green leaves and burgundy spots, this vibrant plant adds some gorgeous shape and color to your rock garden, patio, and more. Plus, you can make this eclectic plant the focal point of your yard.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: For optimal growth, it's recommended to plant this Mangave cultivar in well-drained soil that is rich in nutrients. You should choose a location that receives full to half-day sunlight, as this plant thrives in bright light. It's worth noting that this cultivar has proven to be one of the hardiest of its kind, reportedly growing in locations that experience temperatures as low as 7°F without requiring any protection. 

2. Watering: While this cultivar is drought-tolerant, you can irrigate it occasionally to regularly to encourage healthy growth. Additionally, this cultivar has low water needs, making it a low-maintenance and water-efficient choice for your garden.

3. Fertilizing: During the summer, these plants benefit from occasional supplemental watering and fertilizer diluted to half-strength.
