It has long, dark<br \/>bluish-green, blade-like leaves with sharp edges. Its basal leaves grow 3\u2019 \u2013 4\u2019<br \/>tall. In early summer it shoots up a 9\u2019-15\u2019 flower stalk, bearing a 2\u2019-3\u2019 spike<br \/>of yellowish flowers. Give it plenty of room to show at its best. Sotol makes<br \/>a great barrier plant and is a good substitute for Pampas grass.<\/p><p><br \/><strong>Planting Sites:<\/strong> Sotol can grow in full or part sun. It needs well-drained sand, caliche, igneous, or limestone soils.<\/p><p>Planting Instructions: Dig the hole slightly larger than, but the same depth as, the nursery container. Carefully<br \/>remove plant from container and gently loosen any compacted or circling roots around the root ball. Plant at the<br \/>same depth as the soil in the container. Add 2 to 3 inches of rock mulch.<\/p><p><strong>Watering Instructions:<\/strong> Water well after planting, using root stimulator according to directions. To promote deep<br \/>roots that will withstand drought, for the first couple of months water deeply whenever the soil has dried to a<br \/>depth of an inch or two. Highly drought-tolerant when established\u2014do not over-water.<\/p><p><strong>Comments:<\/strong> Good plant for rock gardens and security hedge. Combines well with rocks, curly mesquite grass, and<br \/>low-growing drought-tolerant plants such as damianita and blackfoot daisy. Lindheimer muhly is a nice contrast<br \/>when planted close by. Can be grown in large containers. Remove old flower stalks at base. Highly deer resistant.<\/p><p><strong>Planting and care instructions provided by the <\/strong><strong>Lindheimer Chapters of the<\/strong><br \/><strong>Native Plant Society of Texas.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Texas Sotol Dasylirion texanum Texas Sotol is a desert perennial often mistaken for a yucca.
