Lasiacis sloanei, commonly known as Sloane’s Woollybeard, is a perennial grass native to tropical forests, clearings, and disturbed areas in Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. It typically grows to a height and width of 2-5 feet (0.6-1.5 meters), forming dense clumps. The plant features narrow, lance-shaped leaves and produces small, inconspicuous flowers year-round, with peak flowering occurring in the warmer months. The foliage remains evergreen in tropical climates, providing continuous greenery throughout the year.

Sloane’s Woollybeard is valued for its adaptability and use as a ground cover or understory plant in tropical and subtropical gardens. It can also be used for erosion control on slopes due to its clumping growth habit. In cultivation, it requires moderate watering and thrives in a range of soil types, provided they have good drainage. It prefers full sun to part shade and can tolerate a degree of drought once established. There are no widely recognized cultivars of this species in the horticultural trade. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to leaf spot diseases in humid conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
