Xanthorrhoea Resinosa Dwarf Blackboy Seeds

Xanthorrhoea Dwarf Blackboy is a native Australian grass tree with a wide natural distribution across eastern Australia. As its name suggests, Xanthorrhoea Dwarf Blackboy is a more compact growing form of grass tree making it ideal for pots or landscape applications where a shorter plant is more desirable.

Like all grass trees, Xanthorrhoea Dwarf Blackboy is a slow growing variety and is used in gardens to provide a rustic, rural or native character and to contrast with existing garden shrubs and provide textures to soften harsh surrounds. This variety is also of architectural appeal as it does spectacularly well in pots beside/inside buildings, in foyer areas or out in the open near a pool or perhaps a modern courtyard. During the first 4 - 5 years of growth, the plant grows as a reed-like grass, before the emergence of the characteristic trunk. Xanthorrhoea Dwarf Blackboy is a native grass tree, Xanthorrhoea Resinosa.
