Dasylirion quadrangulatum
Mexican Grass Tree - Toothless Sotol - Toothless Desert Spoon
Description
Dasylirion quadrangulatum, also known as the Mexican Grass Tree or Sawtooth Dasylirion, is a striking, slow-growing plant native to Mexico. This plant is known for its long, narrow, and serrated leaves that radiate from a central crown. The leaves are a blue-green color, and the plant eventually forms a trunk, giving it a tree-like appearance. Mature plants can produce a tall, impressive flower spike. This plant is well-suited to hot, dry climates. To cultivate Dasylirion quadrangulatum, provide a sunny location with well-draining soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but appreciates occasional deep watering, especially during the establishment phase.
