Agave vilmoriniana, known as the Octopus Agave, is a lovely Agave that is native to Mexico.
 
Agave vilmoriniana is a very unusual looking Agave with narrow green leaves that twist back towards the ground, making it look like a 1 metre tall and wide octopus with outreaching tentacles. Arching deeply furrowed leaves are unarmed, making this Agave a relatively safe plant for walkway areas or container growing. 
 
Produces a 4.5 metre tall flower stalk. The stalk is a true spike and the individual flowers are small, cream yellow to whitish.
 
 
Is very tolerant of a wide range of conditions, including temperatures of around –5°C.
 
 
For sale is a packet of 10 seeds.
