Agave ferdinandi-regis

Spain's answer to victoria-reginae, (although now considered a variant of the latter). However it is distinctive and superb. Fewer leaves but better paint job and huge black sculptured awns. 60cm rosette for well-drained, sunny position.

3.Indoors OK, Outdoors OK in warm, well-drained position in mild areas.

Extremely handsome in a pot.
Closeup of paint job.
After many years will flower at about this size.
Inflorescence is tall and terminal.
Closeup of the action end of emerging inflorescence.
Shiny black sculptured awns are unique to this species.
Doing well in the garden.
This one is large enough to flower soon.
