Add item to quote to see pricing

Xanthorrhoea glauca is a striking, resilient Australian native that's no stranger to adversity. Fondly referred to as the Grass Tree, this evergreen wonder graces any garden with an exceptional aesthetic, marked by a palm-like structure reaching a towering height of up to 16 feet. Its unique appearance is further accented by its dense crown of finely-textured, blue-grey foliage which gracefully arches from atop a singular, robust stem. Enduring and adaptable, the Grass Tree remains unfazed in the face of poor soils and drought, courtesy of its deep roots. On occasion, it breaks its steely persona with a spectacular floral display—tall spikes densely packed with delicate white blossoms—bringing a delightful contrast and wildlife to your garden. Ideal for full sun to partial shade, the Grass Tree is a time-tested testament to natural strength and beauty, making it a unique, versatile addition to any landscape design.
