Mangave Kaleidoscope PP 28614 Hemiboea and much more condensed flowerxMangave 'Kaleidoscope' is another fantabulous creation from our friend Hans Hansen. This 2016 introduction is a yellow edged sport of xMangave 'Jaguar' that forms an 18" tall x 2' wide clump of rubbery foliage (evergreen above freezing) with a soft spiny border. The arching green leaves are so heavily spotted they age to almost pure purple, each edged with a wide band of creamy yellow, which takes on a pink cast in sun an extravaganza of color!
