Plant of the Week: 12/11/2020

Blue-leaf Hildago Sotol Dasylirion Glaucophyllum Zone 7-10

One of the largest sotols, this cactus can reach 4' tall and 7' wide! Powder blue spiked leaves create a beautiful, round evergreen that adds nice color and texture to your yard. Shoots out a 7' tall flower spike that has small white flowers that hummingbirds enjoy!

Plant in full sun and amend soil with sand and small gravel to improve drainage. Water occasionally the first year, then rain should take care of the rest once established. May get freeze damage during harsh winters.
