Xanthorrhoea glauca, commonly known as the Grass Tree, is an iconic Australian native renowned for its dramatic architectural form, slow-growing habit, and exceptional longevity. Seed-grown specimens develop a sturdy trunk crowned with a dense tuft of blue-grey, grass-like foliage, creating a striking feature in native, contemporary, and drought-tolerant landscapes.
During the flowering season, mature plants produce spectacular flower spikes that can reach up to 2 metres tall. These nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and native birds, adding biodiversity to the garden. Highly resilient once established, Xanthorrhoea glauca thrives in well-drained soils and requires very little maintenance, making it an outstanding specimen for feature planting, rockeries, and Australian native gardens.
