Agave nickelsiae 🌵

(Formerly Agave ferdinandi-regis)
A Refined Relative of the Queen Victoria Agave

 

New at The Cactus Outlet!

 

We’re excited to introduce Agave nickelsiae, formerly known as Agave ferdinandi-regis—a highly sought-after agave closely related to the iconic Queen Victoria Agave. This elegant species features a more open, sculptural growth habit, making it a standout choice for collectors, modern landscapes, and container displays.

 

Native to Mexico, Agave nickelsiae combines refined beauty, compact size, and low-maintenance care into a true living sculpture.

 

🌵 Key Features & Growing Habits

 

Slow-Growing & Compact 🌱
Agave nickelsiae grows slowly into a beautifully proportioned rosette, reaching a mature size of approximately 18" tall × 18" wide. Its manageable size makes it ideal for small gardens, patios, and decorative containers.

 

Sun & Heat Loving ☀️
Thrives in full sun and intense heat, performing exceptionally well in hot, dry climates and water-wise landscapes.

 

Cold Tolerant (With Good Drainage) ❄️
While it prefers warmth, this agave can tolerate short periods down to approximately 10°F when kept dry during winter. Excellent drainage is essential to prevent rot in cold conditions.

 

Minimal Care Required 💧
Once established, Agave nickelsiae requires very little attention—making it perfect for gardeners who want maximum visual impact with minimal effort.

 

🏡 Perfect for Pots or Landscape

 

🪴 Ideal for Containers
A stunning potted specimen that adds desert sophistication to patios, entryways, and courtyards.

 

🏜️ Landscape Versatility
In suitable climates, it thrives in xeriscaped and low-water gardens.

 

🌵 Dramatic Groupings
Planting multiple specimens together creates a striking, sculptural display that matures into an unforgettable focal point.

 

🌵 Plant Sizes Available

 

• 5-gallon plants: approx. 8" × 8"
• Very limited 15-gallon specimens: approx. 17" wide × 16" tall

Design Ideas with Agaves:

Design Ideas with Agaves:

Agaves are a strikingly diverse group of plants, offering a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors to enhance both indoor and outdoor spaces. From compact, sculptural varieties like Agave victoria-reginae to large, dramatic specimens such as Agave americana variegata, there’s an agave for every setting.

These versatile plants thrive in containers or landscape plantings—provided the climate is suitable. In the garden, group small to mid-sized agaves together for texture and contrast, or use larger agaves as bold, architectural focal points. The same principles work beautifully for container gardening: mix various sizes and forms in stylish pots to create a dynamic, artistic display for patios, entryways, or interior spaces.

With their dramatic lines, low maintenance needs, and sculptural appeal, agaves bring both structure and beauty to any design.
