Mangave Inkblot PP 29431 Trachycarpus If you like this kindxMangave '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.
