Notes
'Stained Glass' octopus agave (Agave vilmoriniana 'Stained Glass') is a succulent for borders, containers, and xeriscape gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought, so it needs little care. Birds and hummingbirds visit it. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Red echeveria, Narrow-leaf chalksticks, Desert spoon, and White sage.
