Agave vilmoriniana
Octopus Agave
Description
Agave vilmoriniana, also known as Octopus Agave, is a unique and visually striking succulent native to Mexico. It is characterized by its gracefully curving leaves, which arch outwards like the tentacles of an octopus. The leaves are a soft, gray-green color and form a rosette. Agave vilmoriniana is a relatively fast-growing agave. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. After many years, it produces a tall flowering stalk with yellow flowers, after which the plant dies. This is a great addition to the landscape due to its unique shape. Provide well-draining soil to prevent root rot and protect it from frost.
