Agave victoriae reginae Ring of Gold Amarcrinum Attracting hummingbirds in late springAgave victoriae reginae 'Ring of Gold' is one of many variegated selections of Agave victoriae reginae that we acquired years ago without a valid cultivar name. Agave 'Ring of Gold' offsets faster than all the Agave victoriae reginae clones we grow, producing 3 4 times the offsets, creating a ring around the mother rosette. The yellow leaf margin of Agave 'Ring of Gold' is more yellow than the yellow orange of Agave 'Kazo Bana'.
