Agave victoriae-reginae 'Minima' (Clustering Queen Victoria Agave) - A very slow-growing and attractive small clump-forming agave that forms dense colonies of attractive rosettes that are no larger than 4 inches tall by as wide with tight-fitting, tapered deep green leaves that are edged in white along the margins and end in a small terminal spine.
Plant in full sun or light shade. Drought tolerant. Hardy to at least 10 F°. This small form is a great small plant for a small container.
We received this plant in a collection of Agave victoriae-reginae from Alice Waidhoffer and offered a small crop in 2007. For more information on the species, see our listing of Agave victoriae-reginae.
This information about Agave victoriae-reginae 'Minima' displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
