Take a look at this beautiful succulent , honestly this has to be one of the best colors combinations in the succulent world.
This plant is relatively new , introduction in 2008. .

The leaves are outlined with maroon edges that terminate in a small spine.
Mature to 1-foot tall by 15 inches wide.
Bloodspot is a interspecific hybrid between a manfreda and Agave macroantha.
Excellent as a container plant or for specimen use in frost free climates.
Low water usuage is Winter hardiness 25 - 30 degrees. Hardy to zone 10 and higher outdoors, those zones lower can bring indoors and use as a houseplant.

A wonderful beautiful succulent , and will be a great addition. Unique coloring, wonderful for containers makes this succulent a must have.
Happy Gardening!

Fun and care-free…can’t get enough of those succulents! ‘Bloodspot’ has been very easy to winter indoors, for me, too. Good thing, in this climate!
