Description
The Octopus Agave lives up to its name with long, slender, twisting leaves that sprawl outwards like the arms of an octopus. Its distinctive, un-ague-like form is soft, green, and often spineless. It creates a sprawling, sculptural effect and produces a spectacular, tall, branching flower stalk. It’s perfect for adding dynamic form and a tropical feel.
