Agave vilmoriniana is a succulent known for its long, narrow, arching, and twisting leaves that resemble octopus tentacles. It produces a 10-20′ stalk of yellow-green flowers after 7-10 years. Excellent in desert, succulent, and Mediterranean gardens, as well as coastal, seacoast, and rocky environments. Uses include as an accent plant, a focal point, or in containers. Full sun to partial shade is best; it prefers some afternoon shade in extremely hot conditions. Sandy or gravel soil is best, but needs good drainage. Monocarpic. Deer and rabbit-resistant. Fire-resistant. Cold-hardy to 20°F.
