Unlike some other grasstrees, it lacks a trunk, and instead grows from one or more underground stems. The leaves are blue-green or blue-grey and depressed in cross section. It flowers from August to October.[3]
Xanthorrhoea fulva grows in wet sandy areas from Wyong on the New South Wales Central Coast north to around Rockhampton in Queensland.[3][4]
