Agave Victoriae Reginae

Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Golden Princess’ is a very slow growing but tough and nice variegated form of the Queen Victoria Agave. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and desirable species.

Agave Victoriae Reginae Variegation is yellow striping along the margins of each leaf. Rosettes: Dense, globose, regular, slow growing, eventually growing up to 30 cm tall diameter and 30-40 cm across. (but usually rarely grows taller than 22 cm). Most plant are solitary, but some offset heavily. Leaves: Tight-fitting, thick, rigid, trigonous, 15-20 cm long and up to 3 cm broad, tapered ending in a small terminal spine with the leaf margins smooth and spineless.

This cultivar has broad yellow margins which, in addition to the already brilliant silver markings on the margins and center of the leaf, give this plant a tricoloured look (The distinct longitudinal white markings are unique, slightly raised, like mini-variegation bordering each leaf).
