Dioon edule Tamaulipas Ornamental Vines makes a dramatic winter evergreenWe have been so thrilled at our success with Dioon edule that we want more folks to try it. This offering represents seed propagated plants of the variety Dioon edule var. angustifolium from southern Tamaulipas, Mexico.

We recommend at least 4 6 hours of sun and well
