A. victoriae-reginae is found theQueen Victoria agave (Agave victoria-reginae) is highly prized by gardeners throughout the U.S. Southwest and beyond for its beauty as well as its small size. Named after Queen Victoria, this long-lived agave is known for its ability to thrive in seemingly inhospitable conditions, including the hot, reflected sun of the desert landscape. You don’t expect to see royalty growing in the desert, but this Mexican native deserves a prominent place in the arid landscape where its beauty can be admired by all.
