We're trying to grow as many bear grasses as possible, and our latest attempt is with the very rare Mexican Nolina palmeri var. brandegeei. This 15' tall, arborescent form of Palmer's beargrass comes from South of the Border...in Baja California, Mexico to be exact. There is grows in the high rocky mountains slopes around 8,000' elevation. This is our first attempt, but we have some extra plants, so we're offering them for those who also like to experiment. Nolina palmeri var. brandegeei forms a tall branching plant, bare at the base with age. The leaves of the terminal green rosettes of foliage are edged with miniature, saw-like teeth. Most likely good winter drainage will be a key to success.
