Plant in full to half day sun in a well-drained soil and give occasional to regular irrigation - the brighter the light the more pronounced the burgundy spotting Cold hardiness on this variety is not well documented but it is thought to be hardy and evergreen down to the mid-20s° F and useful in USDA Zones 9 and above. This plant is slow to offset so remains symmetrically attractive and should prove nice for a prominent spot in the garden as well as a container subject.

It is a hybrid cross between two of the earliest of the Manfreda and Agave hybrids, the smaller Mangave 'Bloodspot' and the larger Mangave 'Jaguar', a Dutch hybrid thought to involve Manfreda guttata. This plant has a U.S. Plant Patent PP28,613 issued in November 2017. We have grown and sold this attractive cultivar since 2020.
