HESPERALOE TENUIFOLIA
GRASSY HESPERALOE
Hesperaloe tenuifolia is a densely
tufted evergreen plant whose narrow,
arching, grasslike leaves can grow
close to 3’ long. This plant offsets
sparingly and is quite drought tolerant. However if water and fertilizer is
applied the plant will grow quickly
year-round. This plant enjoys full
sun, reflective sun and partial shade.
Be sure to plant in a soil that can
drain thoroughly. White flowers occur primarily in April and May and
are visited by bats and hawk moths.
Originating just northeast of Alamos,
Mexico growing among the Oaks and
Agave bovicornuta.
