Description:

A unique and elegant cultivar of the squid agave, *Agave bracteosa* ‘Calamar’ features long, slender, tentacle-like leaves with smooth edges and no teeth or terminal spines—making it one of the most user-friendly agaves. Its soft, arching form gives it a graceful, almost aquatic appearance that adds unusual texture to succulent plantings.
