Agave x victorifolia 'Queen's Whalecome' is a 2018 Plant Delights Nursery release...a seed strain from our cross of two amazing century plants, Agave victoriae-reginae and Agave ovatifolia. The cross was first made a year earlier on the west coast by California agave breeder, Jeremy Spath, who now has two superb offspring. Our limited seed crop has filled out 1 quart pots, but we only have a few to share. We expect the plants to mature around 2' tall x 4' wide, but that's only a guess, since this is a new cross. So far, all the rosettes are showing smooth green leaves, and no sign of offsets. Once these are gone, that's it.
