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 Waidhofer and offered a small crop in 2007. For more information on the species, see our listing of Agave victoriae-reginae

The information displayed on this page about Agave victoriae-reginae 'Minima' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.

 
We closed for regular business at the end of 2025 in order for the property to be developed for affordable housing.
Our gates remain closed but we will open them by appointment to interested parties as we liquidate remaining supplies and equipment.
