Dasylirion leiophyllum 'Guadalupe'

 
Common name smooth-leaved sotol, desert candle
Family asparagaceae
Life cycle perennial (Z7-10)
Size 48"
Light sun

Porcupine hemisphere of narrow blue-green leaves edged in small spines. Native to Mexico and the southwestern US. The hardiness range noted above is for the more southern/lower-elevation populations – the 'Guadalupe' strain is reportedly quite a bit hardier.

We're just trying this plant for the first time this year; it hasn't found a permanent place in our gardens yet. (click here for a full list)
