Mexican grass tree lends itself to a contemporary garden design when planted in rows or used as a centerpiece surrounded by smaller succulents, such as ‘Blue Elf’ aloe (Aloe ‘Blue Elf’) or golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii).
This accent plant also makes a great container plant and is an ideal choice for areas that receive full sun and reflected heat, where flowering plants may struggle. If you’re growing Mexican grass tree in a container, be sure to use a fast-draining planting mix that is specially formulated for succulents. It’s important to note that when grown in a container, Mexican grass tree will need to be watered more often — weekly in summer, every two weeks in spring and fall, and monthly in winter.
