Description
Mangave or Agave undulata 'Purple Passion' is an amazing hybrid resulting from the cross-breeding between an Agave and a Manfreda. It is a spectacular succulent plant, which forms a large rosette of wide, glossy-textured leaves. Foliage that will colour even more intensely when exposed to the sun. Drought-resistant but not very hardy, this plant is eye-catching when potted on the terrace. In seaside gardens or very mild climates, it will thrive in a rockery.
Mangave 'Purple Passion' belongs to the Agavaceae family, now included by botanists in the much larger Asparagaceae family. This plant develops quite rapidly into a well-filled rosette, 50 cm tall and about 60 cm wide, composed of numerous succulent leaves that are wide, long, and pointed. The leaves are gutter-shaped, tapering to a point, and bordered by small, slightly prickly thorns. Their shiny leaf is bronze-green in winter, gradually turning green-brown, purple, and aubergine violet in full sun. Flowering will occur in favourable climates on mature plants, from August to October. A branched flower spike bearing small star-shaped flowers emerges from the centre of the rosette. Mangaves are plants for dry, well-drained soil, capable of withstanding short frosts of around -5 to -7°C depending on the variety. They should be placed in full sun or at most partial shade in hot climates. The vegetation persists in winter.
To create exotic scenes in mild climates, Mangave 'Purple Passion' can be planted in a rockery, alongside other small agaves, sedums, or other differently coloured Mangaves. Collectors of cacti and other succulent plants can showcase it on the terrace or balcony by surrounding it with pots filled with houseleeks.

Planting and care
Plant the 'Purple Passion' Mangave preferably in full sun, or in partial shade in the hottest and sunniest regions. Plant it in very well-draining soil, even poor, rocky or sandy: it does not tolerate winter moisture and cold well but does a little better in dryer cold, in dry soil. Since it adapts perfectly to dry soils, even arid in summer, it can be considered to be planted in a rockery or on a rocky slope, in seaside gardens or in mild climates, where frost does not go below -5°C at its lowest point.
This plant can easily be grown in a pot on the terrace or balcony, in a light substrate such as cactus soil, with careful drainage, preferably in terracotta. Choose a wide and heavy pot for stability. Water regularly in summer, but let the substrate dry between 2 waterings. It will then be easy to store the pot away from strong frost and humidity, in a bright, well-ventilated, lightly heated or unheated room. Reduce or even stop watering in winter. The plant can spend the warm season, from April to October, outdoors.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
