Agave victoriae-reginae

Agaves are succulents that form rosettes of fleshy, spiny-edged leaves. They are mostly grown as houseplants or conservatory plants but larger varieties can add a stunning architectural look to the garden.

Agave victoriae-reginae forms a dense rosette of fleshy, triangular leaves, up to 30cm in length, that have white edges and black tips. This eye-catching plant also has attractive white 'bud-printing' on the leaves - the impressions made by leaves on one another as they develop - adding to the plant's appeal.

Agave victoria-reginae makes an attractive houseplant or conservatory plant. It will enjoy a sunny position on the patio in summer; bring the plant indoors in the autumn and keep bone dry and frost-free over winter.
