Dasylirion texanum
This charming desert perennial, often confused with yucca, can reach heights of 9 to 15 feet thanks to its striking flower stalk. Atop this stalk stands a beautiful spike of yellowish flowers that stretches 2 to 3 feet high, all framed by a lovely cluster of dark, bluish-green leaves. These leaves, boasting evenly-spaced spines and a graceful, wide, cupped base, typically grow to a height of 1 ½ to 2 ½ feet.
During dry spells, the trunks open up, creating cozy access for wildlife to explore the spongy interior and the lush leaf bases.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
