Notes
Queen victoria century plant (Agave victoriae-reginae) is a succulent for borders, containers, and xeriscape gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Its evergreen rosettes give year-round form, and it attracts hummingbirds and birds.
Pairs well with Desert spoon, White sage, Elfin mother of thyme, and Star of persia.
