Agave victoriae-reginae is nicknamed 'The Queen Agave' and we can see why!
Architecturally and aesthetically stunning this Agave is simply beautiful and unlike many of its relatives, it only has spines on the very tips of its leaves.
It is however; highly variable in form, although the rosettes are commonly small and compact, growing to 0.5m, composed of short, rigid, thick leaves that are Green with a pattern of distinctive White markings. The markings are generally along leaf keels or margins, giving a sort of polyhedral appearance. Marginal teeth are usually lacking, while the terminus of the leaf may include 1 to 3 spines, each 1.5–3 cm in length
A must have for the collector and hobby-collector alike.
Please Note: Succulents change colour throughout the year and the plants we deliver can look different from the pictures. All plants are shipped bare root (without soil).
