A sheep-eating plant blooms for the first time in the U.K. at the Royal Horticultural Society's Garden Wisley.

The sheep-eating plant blooms and apparently grows closer to where it can reportedly kill and "eat" sheep.

Also known as a Puya Chilensis plant, the sheep-eating plant blooms to 10 feet and grows its signature base of razor-sharp, hook-shaped spines, according to BBC.

"It's growing in the arid section of our glasshouse with its deadly spines well out of reach of both children and sheep alike," Cara Smith, a horticulturist at the Garden Wisley told BBC.

The plant is a sheep-eater because the plant has razor-sharp, hook-shaped spines that are used to attract the sheep and is sharp enough to kill the animals. From there, the animals decompose and nourish the plant through the soil, acting as fertilizer.

The plants native habit is in Chile, but this plant has been preserved through a liquid fertilizer.

When people go to check out this sheep-eating plant, the plant will not harm the people.

"[P]arents coming along with small children [to see the flower] don't need to worry about the plant devouring their little ones," Wisley said. It's growing in the arid section of our Glasshouse with its deadly spines well out of reach of both children and sheep alike."
