Manfreda Maculosa 1 gal

Manfreda maculosa, often called False Aloe or Spice Lily, is a unique and architectural succulent prized for its dramatic, spotted foliage and unusual flower spikes. This easy-care perennial forms a low rosette of thick, fleshy leaves heavily marked with burgundy-purple spots. In summer, it sends up a tall, slender spike adorned with intriguing, fragrant greenish-white flowers that attract pollinators like hummingbirds. An excellent choice for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and container displays where its striking texture and form can be showcased. It thrives with minimal water and care once established.

Plant in a location with excellent drainage, such as a raised bed, rock garden, or container with a cactus/succulent mix. It prefers full sun to light shade. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, but be careful not to overwater. It is highly drought tolerant and thrives in poor to average, well-drained soil. Little to no fertilizer is needed. Remove spent flower stalks after blooming.
