🌵 New at Cactus Outlet: Agave Nickelsiae (Formerly Agave Ferdinand-Regiis) 🌟
We’re thrilled to introduce the Agave Nickelsiae, previously known as Agave ferdinandi-regis, to our collection. A striking relative of the Queen Victoria Agave, this agave offers a unique, sculptural form with a more open growth habit. Native to Mexico, the Agave Nickelsiae is an exquisite and low-maintenance plant, perfect for adding desert elegance to any garden or indoor space.
🌞 Key Features:
Slow-Growing & Compact Size: This agave grows slowly to a mature size of about 18" tall by 18" wide, making it a fantastic choice for smaller spaces or container gardening.
Sun & Heat Tolerant: Thrives in full sun and intense heat, making it ideal for hot, sunny spots in your garden or landscape.
Cold Tolerant: Although it prefers warmth, the Agave Nickelsiae can withstand short periods of cold down to 10°F, provided it is kept dry in winter to avoid rot.
Minimal Care: A low-maintenance beauty that requires little attention once established, making it the perfect “living sculpture” for those with busy schedules.
🏡 Perfect for Pots or Landscape:
Ideal for Containers: The Agave Nickelsiae makes a stunning statement as a potted plant, adding a touch of desert sophistication to your home or patio.
Landscape Versatility: In the right climate, it can also be planted outdoors, where it thrives in xeriscaped or low-water gardens.
Dramatic Groupings: Consider grouping multiple Agave Nickelsiae together for an eye-catching display that matures into a stunning centerpiece.
