Xanthorrhoea australis
Grass Tree

Xanthorrhoea australis is a striking Australian native plant renowned for its architectural form, tufted foliage, and dramatic flowering spikes. Commonly called the Austral Grass Tree, it is highly valued for its sculptural presence in gardens and landscapes.

Xanthorrhoea australis features long, narrow, tough green leaves that grow in dense clumps from a thick, often blackened trunk. Mature plants produce tall, upright flower spikes bearing clusters of creamy-white flowers that rise well above the foliage, attracting birds and pollinators. The trunk may show natural fire scars, a characteristic feature that adds to its rugged, native charm.

This species thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, showing excellent tolerance to drought, poor soils, and harsh conditions. It is slow-growing but extremely hardy, making it a standout in native gardens and low-maintenance landscapes.

Xanthorrhoea australis is valued for its sculptural form, dramatic flower spikes, and distinctive foliage, making it ideal for feature plantings, native landscapes, rockeries, and statement garden pieces.
