Description
The Agave Octopus, also known as Agave vilmoriniana, is a rare and eye-catching succulent known for its curved, twisting leaves that resemble octopus tentacles—giving it both its name and dramatic presence. Grown in a nursery grow bag, this young agave is already forming its signature swirl and is ideal for those looking to add bold, sculptural flair to their garden, balcony, or succulent collection.
Its long, slender, arching leaves are blue-green to greyish, forming a rosette that grows more striking with time. Despite its exotic looks, this plant is incredibly low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, thriving in full sun and dry soil. Once mature, it can reach impressive sizes if given space, making it great for large planters or dry landscaping.
Perfect for xeriscaping, minimal-care balconies, or as a statement plant in ceramic or terracotta pots. Just give it plenty of sun and don’t overwater—it will do the rest.
