Nolina microcarpa Bear grass grows in clumps of stiff, long-haired grass. Each tip of the long grass stems end in a sedative curly string. Serrated leaf edges can be sharp, but once planted they require little to no maintenance. These long-lived, lily family plants flourish naturally in dry rocky grasslands to foothill environments across the SW from 3,000-7,000 ft. Tall, flower stalks appear in the spring, made up of numerous creamy white blooms. Can be planted in mass as wispy accents, blended with desert shrubs, perennials, or other accent succulents.
