The Xanthorrhoea glauca, commonly known as the Australian Grass Tree, is a unique and iconic native plant that adds character and texture to any landscape. With its sculptural blackened trunk and dense, grass-like foliage, this slow-growing species is perfect for creating a natural, native aesthetic. Indigenous to Australia’s east coast, it thrives in well-draining soil and is highly drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for sustainable, low-maintenance gardens.
Xanthorrhoea glauca can grow to 2–3 metres tall with a leaf spread of up to 1 metre, creating a bold focal point in coastal, tropical, or native garden designs. The Grass Tree is highly valued for its resilience, longevity, and ability to attract native wildlife, making it a popular choice for Australian landscapes. Whether planted as a standalone feature or grouped for a natural bushland effect, Xanthorrhoea glauca offers timeless, low-maintenance beauty for gardens across Queensland and New South Wales.
