Art & Sol™ Night Owl Mangave

Night Owl forms a compact rosette of broad, gently undulating leaves. Heavy dark spotting gives the foliage a near-black appearance, while the leaf margins show small teeth. Its listed mature size is 6–8 inches tall and 16–18 inches wide. Use it as an architectural accent in a sunny container or a sharply drained garden bed. It tolerates heat and dry conditions, and is reported to resist deer and rabbits. The listed hardiness range is USDA zones 9–11; in colder climates, grow it in a container and protect it from frost. Full sun brings out the strongest dark color, and the distinctive leaves stand out against pale stone or lighter foliage.

Water during active growth, then let the soil dry between waterings; protect the crown from prolonged wet conditions. Keep the plant dry through cold winter conditions, and bring container plants indoors before frost in climates below its listed hardiness range.
