Plant Profile: Nolina nelsonii

Blue Nolina is a sizable, tree-like shrub with a striking blue-green hue, belonging to the asparagus family. This succulent is characterized by its slow growth and remarkable resilience to both drought and high temperatures. For optimal growth, it should be planted in full sunlight and in soil that drains well. After it blooms, the main plant will die back, giving rise to a new plant at the base of the rosette. Its rugged texture contributes significantly to the visual appeal of a landscape designed for low water consumption.
