Nolina lindheimeriana aka Lindheimer's Bear Grass

Nolina lindheimeriana belongs to the asparagus family, Asparagaceae. It is a perennial, a plant that lives for years. It comes from south-central Texas. Kew places it in deserts or dry shrublands. These habitats show that it grows in a dry climate. The Royal Horticultural Society accepts its scientific name as correct. It also states that the plant is not native to Britain or Ireland. Chicago Botanic Garden calls it devil's shoestring. The garden lists it as a perennial for garden use.

The plant grows as a mound, not an upright form. The sources give few other facts about its shape. They give no height or width for a full-grown plant. They give no lengths for its leaves or flower stems. These gaps mean the sources cannot support a sound size range. The RHS describes the wider genus, Nolina, as well. But that text does not confirm this species' leaf or bark traits. The sources also leave the form of its stems unclear.

Chicago Botanic Garden lists white blooms in May and June. The supplied sources give no other flower facts for this species. They do not state the size or scent of blooms. Nor do they describe the fruit, seeds, or how pollination takes place. The garden lists this plant for beds and borders. It also suggests growing it as a specimen, for display on its own. Its mound shape and white blooms are its stated traits for show. The sources name no plants to grow with it. They also give no space to leave between plants.

Chicago Botanic Garden lists full sun or part shade for growing it. It calls for dry soil and USDA hardiness zones 8–10. These needs fit the dry habitat that Kew records. The sources give no soil texture or pH range. They give no rate of growth or plan for when to water. Chicago lists deer resistance but adds no detail. The sources name no pests or diseases for this species. They give no proof of edible parts or toxic effects. They thus cannot show food uses or establish safety. The Chicago profile is an archived record captured before February 2022. The garden no longer updates it. This limits its worth as a guide to care today.
