Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Albomarginata’ is a white-margined cultivated form of Queen Victoria agave with dark green leaf centres and broad cream-white edges. The plant keeps the compact rosette of the species, while the pale margins give each leaf a sharper outline.
This slow-growing agave needs bright light, careful watering and a mineral substrate. The white margins show stress marks faster than green tissue, so stable conditions and careful handling reduce visible scarring on the rosette.
Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Albomarginata’ grows as a tight rosette of stiff, triangular leaves. The pale margins sit along the outer edges of each leaf, while the darker green centre gives the plant its strong contrast.
This is a cultivated variegated form of a species from north-eastern Mexico, where Agave victoriae-reginae grows in desert or dry shrubland conditions. The typical subspecies is recorded from eastern Coahuila to western Nuevo León; in a pot, Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Albomarginata’ needs dry mineral root conditions and extra care around pale margins that can brown after scorch, rough handling or prolonged stress.
Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Albomarginata’ has rigid leaves, sharp terminal spines and sap that may irritate skin. Keep it away from pets and handle the rosette with gloves when repotting or removing dry leaves.
The genus name Agave is commonly interpreted as noble or admirable, while victoriae-reginae honours Queen Victoria. The name Albomarginata means white-margined, referring to the pale leaf edges; ‘White Rhino’ is another name used for Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Albomarginata’ in cultivation.
