Agave victoriae-reginae 'Porcupine' (Queen Victoria Agave) - A slow-growing and attractive small clump-forming agave to 1 foot tall by 1 1/2 feet wide with tight-fitting, tapered deep green leaves that are edged in white along the margins and end in a small terminal spine; the leaf margins are smooth and spineless. When the plant flowers, which only happens with considerable age, the unbranched spike can reach to 15 feet and bares densely packed reddish-purple flowers. After flowering this species usually does not offset and will have to be replaced. Plant in full sun or light shade. Drought tolerant. Hardy to at least 10 F°. This clonal selection of Agave victoriae-reginae came from Yucca Do Nursery.
