Dasylirion wheeleri

Desert Spoon

Long-lived and low-maintenance, Desert Spoon is a carefree accent for desert gardens. It grows slowly to form a dense rosette of silver-blue foliage. Over time, it develops a stout, short trunk. The leathery leaves have teeth along the margins, so it should be planted a safe distance from walkways.

  • Mounding grass-like blue green leaves
  • Radiant heat and drought tolerant
