x Mangave 'Macho Mocha'
Y09-50 — Zone 7b to 10— Garden origin
Macho Mocha! A truly unbelievable plant that stops everyone in their tracks and begs for comment. It originated out of a batch of Manfreda vareigata seedlings that evidently had crossed with a soft leaf agave. The seed was wild collected by us so we were completly suprised to see two seedlings dwarf its siblings by comparison - analogous to the cow bird that sneaks in and lays its eggs in the nest of another. Oh my! junior is big and doesn't resemble his parents! What makes this plant so unbelievable are the huge succulent leaves that are washed in lavender and peppered with chocolate-brown spots which intensifies in cold weather or drought stress.

Notes and observations about this plant
- x Mangave 'Macho Mocha' by Carl Dreibelbis
- This is one very special plant. There are 5 of these beauties growing in my beds and all of them withstood 19F, soaking wet, this winter without a mark. (Posted on 6/6/10)
- Notes by Yucca Do Staff
- We previously listed the plant as Manfreda variegata 'Macho Mocha' but feel certain after the passage of time that it is a bi-generic cross between Manfreda variegata and Agave celsii. (Posted on 2/24/10)
