This native of Oaxaca, Mexico has green leaves with whitish-yellow prickles. The surfaces of the leaves feel like a fine sandpaper. Dasylirion serratifolium grows around 1.8 metres in height and width and it’s suitable for a very hot, dry location where it will make a fantastic specimen. This plant has a very informal appearance and will make a fine addition to any desert garden collection, cold hardy till -10C°.
