Dasylirions

These are highly architectural Yucca-like plants and include several commonly grown landscape species including the Mexican Grass Tree (Dasylirion longissimum), probably the most commonly grown Dasylirion. Most of these originate from America or Mexico. Historically this plant was eaten (the caudex was cooked) and drunk (an alcoholic beverage called Sotol was made from the roots) and was a fairly important plant to the natives of the southwest US and Mexico. Now they are strictly landscape plants, prized for their amazing symmetry and durability (very drought and sun tolerant). They vary in hardiness though are mostly frost resistant with, for example, the Dasylirion miquihuanensis tolerating temperatures down to -10C. We are expanding our range of Dasylirions for sale this year. You can buy Dasylirions online here or come and see them for sale at our nursery.
