Description
Dasylirion Glaucophyllum is a bold, spectacular variety. Highly architectural and sometime known as ‘Sandpaper Sotol’ or ‘Blue Leaf Hidaglo Sotol’. Yes – what is ‘Sotol’ – well, it turns out that I need to add this to my cocktail cabinet. Sotol is a Mexican distilled spirit made from the heart or ‘piña’ of the Dasylirion, this is fermented with wild yeast and distilled and unlike Tequilla apparently. Anyway – on a more horticultural note, Dasylirion glaucophyllum is said to be hardy to around minus 10C and is an excellent coastal plant much like other varieties. Leaves are long, thin and blue-green with wonderfully serrated edges. The foliage is arranged in a beautiful tight rosette with a trunk forming as the plant matures.
Plant in full sun and very free draining soil or may be container grown to great effect.
