Mangave Break of Dawn Caryopteris and this is the seedling

and this is the seedling that consistently made visitors drool

before aging to solid green

forming a superbly elegant specimen clump or if you can afford enough

and growth slows dramatically when planted in dense shade

Mangave Break of Dawn Caryopteris and this is the seedlingxMangave 'Break of Dawn' is a 2025 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of an amazing Hans Hansen creation, that arose as a sport of xMangave 'Desert Dawn'. This small medium sized creation forms a 9" tall x 17" wide clump with narrow, glaucous leaves, surrounded by a dramatic purple border. Because of the parentage of Agave macroacantha and Agave nizandensis, it doesn't have great winter hardiness, so grow this dazzler as a house plant or summer patio
