Mangave Catch a Wave Physical Characteristics
Its leaves are the most distinct feature. They are thick, blue-green with a silvery hue. The leaves are quite dark due to the tremendous dark spotting on their surface. Also, it has spines on the margins, and these margins curl like sea waves which is the origin of its name.
These leaves are triangular, they have a broad base with a tapering end, and they are grooved. The leaves angle upwards at 45o, but they recurve on the edges. They form relatively dense rosettes.
