Family: Asparagaceae New! Native to Mexico, closely related to Yuccas and thrive under the same conditions. Plants have dark green, grass-like leaves that are 1 inch wide by 6 foot long. They have swollen bases for water storage and can store water up to 1 year. Plants in nature will reach about 30 feet in height with a base about 12 feet across. In containers, they will only reach about 8 foot in height. They make an excellent houseplant if they are not over-watered. Only very old trees will produce this plant's inconspicuous creamy-white flowers. Needs full sun to light shade, with a well drained soil mix. Nice large plants in 4 inch pots!
