QUEEN VICTORIA AGAVE
- Unit price
- / per
This perennial agave is native to parts of South America, growing well in full sun conditions. It's an interesting agave due to the white streaks on the edge of the leaves. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's 'Award of Garden Merit'. Does grow well in containers, though the soil should be well-drained, with sand or perlite. Does best with full sun, though can tolerate part shade.
Type: Perennial
Hardiness zone: 7-11
Location: Sun
Height: 30cm, 12"
Obtain a container with holes in the bottom, to allow water to drain. Use a mix of 50:50 compost/soil and sand. Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. These seeds can grow in temperatures of 21C-29C (70-84F), average about 26C (79F), or a heat mat can be helpful. It is very important to keep the soil moist until germination, and do not let the soil dry until the plants are formed. Watering can be done from a bottom tray, as not to disturb the seeds. The seeds generally germinate in 2-6 weeks, with warmer temperatures towards the quicker end of that range.
