Product Description

The Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 160 cm is an impressive grass tree with a full, round crown of hundreds of narrow, blue-green leaves. Together the fine leaves form a perfect sphere that moves gently with every breath of wind. That gives it a clean, graphic look and instantly lends any garden a southern feel.

At 160 cm this grass tree shows a clear trunk topped with a large, round leaf sphere. A mature specimen that gives your garden character straight away, as a solitary plant in the lawn, in a gravel garden or in a large planter on the patio. Smaller sizes from 110 to 140 cm are also available. Combine it with grasses, lavender or other Mediterranean plants for a southern atmosphere. You will find even more greenery for outdoors among our outdoor plants.

Care and tips for the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 160 cm

This grass tree is strong and needs little attention. Plant it in sandy, well-draining soil or give it a roomy pot with a generous drainage layer of gravel or clay pebbles; among our outdoor pots and baskets you will find a model sturdy enough for its full crown. It hardly needs feeding: an organic garden fertiliser in spring is enough. Now and then remove a dried leaf at the bottom with sharp scissors. The Dasylirion copes well with cold as long as the soil stays dry. If it is in a pot, place it on pot feet in winter and preferably under a canopy or against a sheltered wall. In severe frost you can temporarily cover the crown with garden fleece.

Water needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 160 cm

This drought lover needs little water. During the growing season, water about once or twice a week, and only when the soil is properly dry. A plant in a pot dries out faster than one in the ground, so check the pot a little more often in warm spells. In winter it needs hardly any water. Never let water stand in the saucer, because wet roots are the biggest risk for this plant.

Light needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 160 cm

Give it the sunniest spot you have, ideally facing south or west. In full sun the plant stays compact and the leaves get their best colour. It also grows in partial shade, but a bit more slowly and less full.

Is the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 160 cm toxic?

The Dasylirion Longissimum is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of pets and young children.
