Dasylirion miquihuanensis
[ Agavaceae ] [ Mexico ]
Arguably the most attractive of all Dasylirion. It has very rigid rosettes of countless, stiff, green leaves with small marginal teeth and tufts of pale fibers on the tips, which, on the best specimens, are curled inwards. Older plants usually form a trunk that can reach up to 2 m (7 ft.) tall in some cases. It grows in the same region with such stunning plants as Brahea decumbens, Dasylirion quadrangulatum and Nolina nelsonii. It is an easy plant for cultivation in temperate climates, where it prefers a position in full sun on well drained ground and can tolerate drought and severe freezes.
