Queen Victoria Agave

Also known as Royal Agave, Queen Agave

Queen Victoria agave forms a dense, perfectly spherical rosette of thick, dark green leaves traced with bright white geometric margins. Native to the arid Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico, it grows exceptionally slowly over fifteen to thirty years before sending up a towering flower spike that signals the end of its life cycle. Its dramatic sculptured form and extreme drought tolerance make it a highly prized specimen in desert rock gardens and botanical collections worldwide.
