Dasylirion longissimum, commonly known as the Mexican Grass Tree, is a slow-growing evergreen shrub native to the Chihuahuan Desert. It features a thick, woody trunk topped with a symmetrical explosion of long, narrow, quadrangular green leaves that lack the sharp teeth found on other species. This architectural plant is highly drought-tolerant and thrives in well-draining soil and full sun. It is an ideal focal point for xeric landscapes, rock gardens, or large containers.
