Mangave Mayan Queen PP 31312 Buddleia during the June - AugustxMangave 'Mayan Queen' is a 2017 introduction from the great work of Walters Gardens' plantsman Hans Hansen. This gem combines the genes of Agave pablocarrilloi and Agave macroacantha with manfreda to create a stunning 15" tall x 3' wide rosette of thick, rubbery, silver grey leaves, overtopped with a heavy dark purple spotting. The leaf edges of xMangave 'Mayan Queen' are attractively scalloped with hard rubbery teeth.
