Manfreda undulata ‘Cherry Chocolate Chip’
Manfreda undulata 'Cherry Chocolate Chip' is one of the most colourful succulents with long, narrow, rippled leaves in shades of olive green, burgundy, red, and white.
Manfreda undulata ‘Cherry Chocolate Chip’ forms a low, colourful mound of long, undulating, pointed, rubbery, succulent foliage to eight inches high and 2.5 feet wide that is olive green with burgundy and raspberry red spots and a white edge. Three foot spikes produce spidery green and pink flowers but rosettes do not die as happens with its cousin Agave. Offsets are produced slowly. A gorgeous sport of ‘Chocolate Chip’. Makes a good houseplant in winter in colder zones.
