$ 57.00
Also known as Texas Desert Spoon.
Texas Sotol is a slow-growing, sculptural plant with long, narrow leaves edged with small teeth. It is evergreen and extremely drought and heat tolerant once established. It produces a tall flower stalk with creamy white flowers in summer. Texas Sotol is native to the Trans-Pecos and Edwards Plateau regions, but it does well in North Texas when planted in well-drained or rocky soils. The leaves were used by Native Americans to make baskets.
