It can add unique visual interest to succulent gardens, rock gardens, containers, and drought-tolerant landscape designs. Its foliage may display attractive markings and patterns depending on the species and growing conditions.

The name Kerchovei may be used inconsistently in plant listings and is not sufficient to establish a botanical identity. Some Manfreda plants are classified within Agave under updated botanical treatments. Check the accepted scientific name and seed identification with your supplier before treating these names as synonyms.
Use a clean, well-drained seed-starting medium and follow the sowing depth and temperature instructions for the identified species. Maintain suitable warmth and light moisture while avoiding excessive watering. Germination time can vary, so use supplier-specific instructions rather than assuming a fixed germination period.
Agave and related succulent plants can be grown in containers when provided with adequate light and excellent drainage. Choose a pot with drainage holes and a gritty succulent-growing mix. Place it near a bright window and avoid frequent watering or leaving excess water in the container.
