How to Grow and Care for Dehesa beargrass

Dehesa beargrass presents as a robust perennial with a distinct, grass-like appearance. Its lengthy, narrow leaves form dense tufts and display a fibrous texture, often reaching lengths of up to 3 feet (about 91 cm). The foliage is typically a rich, deep green, which may appear in stark contrast to the arid surroundings typical of its natural habitat. The plant showcases an unusual reproductive strategy, developing underground stems that contribute to its asexual proliferation. In years when dehesa beargrass does flower, it produces prominent, towering inflorescences that can provide an impressive display, though such flowering is not an annual event.
