Agave ferdinandi regis
King of the Agaves
Description
Agave ferdinandi-regis, also known as the King Agave, is a striking succulent that is known for its symmetrical, architectural form. The plant forms a solitary rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that are often a deep green color, sometimes with subtle markings. The leaves have a distinctive, dark-colored terminal spine and often exhibit a curved shape. Agave ferdinandi-regis is a slow-growing plant that thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It requires infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Protect from frost as it is not cold hardy. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, which can occur very quickly.
