Product Description

Agave victoriae-reginae forma eborispina is a spectacular and rare white-spined form of the iconic Queen Victoria agave, celebrated for its tight, geometric rosettes of deep green, triangular leaves marked by sharp white leaf margins and patterns. In this form, the terminal spines are a striking ivory-white (eborispina = "ivory spine"), adding intense visual contrast. Native to northeastern Mexico, it is a slow-growing gem prized for symmetry, color contrast, and compact elegance in pots or rock gardens.
