5gal Desert Spoon (L97) | Dasylirion wheeleri

Dasylirion wheeleri, commonly known as Desert Spoon or Sotol, is a striking evergreen succulent featuring a symmetrical rosette of slender, blue-gray leaves edged with fine, golden spines. This slow-growing plant typically reaches 4 to 5 feet in height and width, with mature specimens occasionally developing a short trunk. In summer, it produces a dramatic flower stalk up to 15 feet tall, adorned with thousands of tiny white or purple-pink flowers, attracting bees and hummingbirds. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, Desert Spoon is highly drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. It’s an excellent choice for xeriscaping, rock gardens, or as an architectural focal point in arid landscapes. Hardy in USDA Zones 7 through 11.
