Cactus- Agave Vilmoriniana (Octopus Agave)

Agave vilmoriniana also known as the octopus agave is a medium to large accent plant, growing to 4 feet high by 6 feet wide. The leaves are medium green, long and narrow, and deeply channeled. The leaves undulate and twist, showing why this plant is called octopus agave. The leaf margins have fine, soft serrations and a relatively soft terminal spine. It blooms only once, sending up a 15 to 20 foot tall spike of golden yellow flowers. The flowers are followed by seed capsules and bulbils (baby plants). As with all other agave species, octopus agave will die after flowering. Vilmoriniana is quite drought-tolerant once established, and it can grow in low desert regions without supplemental irrigation. It is tolerant of most soil types, from heavy clays to sandy soils.
