Agave Victoriae-Reginae 'Porcupine'

Agave Victoriae-Reginae 'Porcupine' is a striking succulent prized for its dramatic architectural form and low-maintenance appeal. This compact agave features distinctive white striping along deep green leaves, creating a bold porcupine-like texture that commands attention in any garden or indoor collection. Native to Mexico, this slow-growing specimen thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Its compact size—typically reaching 12–18 inches—makes it ideal for containers, rock gardens, or as a focal point in xeriscaping designs. The 'Porcupine' variety is exceptionally cold-hardy for an agave, tolerating temperatures down to 15°F with proper drainage. Water sparingly during the growing season and reduce watering in winter. This drought-tolerant plant requires minimal fertilizing and is naturally pest-resistant. Perfect for collectors seeking a statement piece that combines sculptural beauty with effortless care.
