Dasylirion wheeleri
Q02-73 — Zone 6b to 10— southwestern USA
Hardy silver-blue spoon! These visually striking woody lilies with wispy, silver-blue leaves outlined with hacksaw-like teeth were grown from seed collected in western Texas. Here they experienced temperatures down to 4 degrees F in 1989 and sustained no damage. An outstanding drought tolerant ornamental accent plant that cannot be overlooked. Like most sotols, it is quite tolerant to the extremes of weather whether it be dry to moist or hot to cold. It takes all in stride.

Notes and observations about this plant
- Dasylirion wheeleri hardy in Maryland by Doug
- I have 3 of these and they appear undamaged from the Maryland winter with no protection. My Dasylirion berlandieri did not fair as well this year as it did in 2010. (Posted on 4/15/11)
