Dasylirion quadrangulatum is the correct name for a plant long known as Dasylirion longissimum.

The rare and highly sought after Dasylirion longissimum, very hardy and very beautiful. -
Dasylirion serratifolium is a species of Sotol from southern Mexico. However, in cultivation it is more of a 'catch-all' name for a mixed group of hybrids that have green leaves with toothed margins and terminal tufts. For all practical purposes this is unimportant to anyone other than a dasylirion specialist - in the garden they make a stunning focal point for the arid border along with Yucca, Nolina, Agave and Chamaerops with their fine-leafed 'fibre-optic lamp' appearance that contrasts well with other spiky plants. Alternatively their shape is perfect for pot culture, when they can be taken under glass for winter. -
A hardy and relatively fast growing dasylirion that seems to be one of the better ones for the UK. -
