D. quadrangulatum is valued for its lack of spines, as it is suitable for high traffic areas. The Mexican grass tree is also more green than other sotols, which provides a sharp contrast against desert foliage. In landscapes, it can be planted by itself, in a large container, or next to a pool, as it requires little care.
The Mexican grass tree is hardy to 15°F, and grows best when watered once or twice a month.
