Agave ‘Queens Mystery’
Agave ‘Queen’s Mystery’ – A Royal Hybrid with Desert Charm Introducing the Agave ‘Queen’s Mystery,’ a captivating hybrid born from the regal Agave victoriae-reginae and a mystery agave parent, blending elegance with untamed flair. This compact succulent forms a tight rosette of thick, leaves in shades of deep green. Growing 1-2 feet tall and wide, its sculptural form adds a touch of desert royalty to any space, with leaves that may sport delicate spines or smooth edges, depending on its wild side.
Care Essentials:
• Sun: Loves full sun—6+ hours daily brings out its richest tones. Tolerates partial shade but thrives in bright light.
• Water: Drought-tolerant to the core—water deeply every 2-3 weeks in summer, letting soil dry out completely. In winter, water sparingly, once a month or less.
• Soil: Craves well-drained soil—cactus mix or gritty sand keeps its roots happy and rot-free.
Perfect for rock gardens, xeriscapes, or stylish pots, this low-maintenance agave shines in USDA zones 8-11, handling dry cold to about 15°F (-9°C)—just protect it from soggy freezes. Its slow growth and tidy shape make it a standout solo or grouped, with rare offsets adding to its mystique. After many years, it may surprise with a flower spike, a grand finale typical of agaves. Keep pets and kids clear of potential spines; sap can irritate.
