Agave Victoria Reginae, a rare variety with creamy yellow edges'

Description and Characteristics
The Agave victoriae-reginae (Queen Victoria Agave) is a stunning, slow-growing succulent native to the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico. It is highly prized as an ornamental plant due to its unique architectural form.
  • Appearance: It forms a compact, symmetrical, and dense rosette of rigid, dark green leaves with prominent white markings along the edges. The leaves lack marginal teeth but feature a sharp terminal spine.
  • Size: This is a slow-growing species, typically reaching a mature height of 1 foot and a width of 1.5 to 2 feet.
  • Flowers: After many years, the mature plant produces a tall flower stalk (10-15 feet) with red or purple-tinged flowers, after which the main rosette will die, typically after producing offsets ("pups").
  • Hardiness: It is surprisingly winter-hardy, typically to USDA Zones 8-10, tolerating temperatures as low as 10-15°F if kept dry.
The specific "SQ" form likely refers to one of several named cultivars, each with unique markings or growth habits:
  • Agave victoriae-reginae 'Sasanoyuki Shiro Fukurin': A rare, striking variety featuring rich green leaves with a creamy yellow border on each leaf and distinctive white lines.
  • Agave victoriae-reginae 'Super Wide': A hard-to-find form with exceptionally wide leaves compared to the standard type, creating a different visual texture.
Growing Conditions
Agave victoriae-reginae is a low-maintenance plant that is highly drought-tolerant once established.
  • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. In hot climates, partial shade can protect the leaves from scorching.
  • Soil: Requires well-draining, gritty, lean, or rocky soil to prevent root rot.
  • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly during the spring and summer growing seasons, and reduce watering significantly in the fall and winter dormant periods.
