Meet Mangave 'Permanent Wave' [plug], a stunning hybrid succulent that combines the best traits of Agave and Manfreda plants. This rare architectural plant originated from careful breeding to create a drought tolerant succulent with exceptional garden performance.
Mangave 'Permanent Wave' [plug] forms striking rosettes of thick, silvery-green leaves with dramatic wavy edges that give this plant its distinctive name. The fleshy leaves display beautiful silver markings and a powdery bloom that creates an almost metallic appearance. Each rosette grows in a compact, symmetrical form that showcases the plant's architectural qualities.
This rare succulent produces tall flower spikes with tubular blooms, though flowering typically occurs after several years of maturity. Mangave 'Permanent Wave' [plug] can move outside for summer growing and tolerates dry heated air better than many houseplants.

Mangave 'Permanent Wave' [plug] makes an excellent specimen for collectors seeking rare plants with easy care requirements. This drought tolerant succulent can stay outdoors in autumn in warmer zones and survives 10-day trips alone, making it perfect for busy plant lovers.
