Plant in full sun or light shade. Drought tolerant. Hardy to at least 10 F°. A great addition to the dry garden or for use in decorative containers. Because of its slow growth and time-consuming vegetative propagation this plant has long been an expensive collector's plant that could only be found at specialty succulent nurseries but thanks to the miracles of micropropagation (tissue culture) this plant promises to become much easier to obtain.

This plant is sometimes listed with cultivar names such as 'Aurea Marginata', Aureo-Marginata' or 'Variegata'. Mary Irish proposed the name 'Golden Princess' in the Summer 2002 CSSA Journal (74:4) because latinized cultivar names given after January 1, 1959 are deemed not valid. This is a fitting name for this jewel. Tony Avent, at Plant Delights Nursery, who first shared this plant with us, now lists it as 'Kazo Bana'. We grew this plant from 2007 until 2011. For more information on the species, see our listing of Agave victoriae-reginae.
