Nolina nelsonii (Nelson's Blue Bear Grass)

SunZone: 7b-10, at least 144" tall Origin: Mexico

Web-Only! From the Mexican state of Tamaulipas comes this really cool and far-out bear grass (a little Deadhead gardener lingo). The mature architectural specimens resemble giant ponytail palms, with rigid but not sharply pointed 3' long, silvery blue-green, grass-like foliage to 1" wide. When the 10'-12' tall clumps mature, a 4' tall bloom stalk will rocket forth with thousands of tiny white flowers! To quote the redneck pick-up line, it resembles a parking ticket, because it has 'fine' written all over it. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
