Xanthorrhoea fulva, commonly known as the Broad-leaved Grass Tree, is a perennial herb native to coastal heathlands and sclerophyll forests in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. It is a trunkless species that grows from underground stems, reaching a height of up to 3 feet (1 meter). The leaves of Xanthorrhoea fulva are blue-green or blue-grey, with a unique depressed cross-section, and can grow up to 3 feet long. From August to October, it produces striking flower spikes up to 6 feet (2 meters) tall, with small, creamy white flowers that are attractive to a variety of pollinators.

The Broad-leaved Grass Tree is valued for its drought tolerance and fire resistance, making it a suitable choice for xeriscaping and naturalistic plantings in regions with similar climates to its native habitat. It is also used in cultivation for its unique foliage and architectural form. Xanthorrhoea fulva prefers well-drained, sandy soils and thrives in full sun to part shade. While it is slow-growing, it is long-lived and requires minimal maintenance once established. It is not commonly affected by diseases, but overwatering can lead to root rot.CC BY-SA 4.0
