Mangave Break of Dawn Caryopteris tufts of small stems emergexMangave '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.
