{"product_id":"dasylirion-longissimum-140-cm","title":"Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 140 cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Dasylirion Longissimum is also known as the grass tree. This grass tree of 140 cm has a sturdy trunk topped with a lovely sphere of long, narrow, green leaves. It looks a bit like a yucca, but it is just that little bit more graceful. The slender leaves sway in the wind, and that gives your garden a playful, southern character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is strong and easy-going, and it feels at home in a modern or Mediterranean garden. Put it together with other \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/mediterranean-plants\"\u003eMediterranean plants\u003c\/a\u003e for a southern atmosphere. On its own in a gravel bed or next to the front door, it also comes into its own. A great partner is the Nolina Nelsonii, because its blue-grey leaves create a lovely contrast.

Plant it in sandy, well-draining soil or in a large pot with a generous drainage layer. If you are going for the patio, you will find a pot that suits its size among our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/grienbubble.com\/en-at\/collections\/outside-pots-in-baskets\"\u003eoutdoor pots and baskets\u003c\/a\u003e. Want to give it some extra support during the growing season? Then feed it in spring and summer with an organic fertiliser such as Pokon Organic Garden Fertiliser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can remove old leaves at the bottom with pruning shears, so the trunk stays nicely visible. In winter the plant rests and does not need any feeding. If it is in a pot, place the pot on pot feet so water can drain away properly, and keep the soil as dry as possible. A dry plant copes with cold much better than a wet one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWater needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 140 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, water once or twice a week when the soil is dry. Always feel the soil with your finger first: if the top layer is still moist, wait a few more days. In winter it needs hardly any water. Never let water stand in the pot or around the roots, because wet feet are far more dangerous for this drought lover than a little too little water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLight needs of the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 140 cm\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dasylirion loves the sun. Give it the warmest and sunniest spot in the garden or on the patio, for example against a south-facing wall. The more sun it gets, the fuller and more beautiful the leaf sphere becomes. In severe frost it is wise to cover the crown with garden fleece. Remove the fleece as soon as the weather turns milder, so the plant can breathe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs the Dasylirion Longissimum garden plant - 140 cm toxic?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dasylirion Longissimum is mildly toxic if ingested.
