Big Bend Yucca
Yucca Rostrata
Overview
The Big Bend Yucca, or Yucca rostrata, is a striking specimen with a stout stem that can reach up to 12 feet tall and a crown of slender, pale blue-green leaves spanning around 2 feet. Its iconic, spherical head of leaves creates a distinctly sculptural silhouette, while its stunning white blooms on a tall spike add allure in late spring to early summer. Ideal for water-efficient landscapes due to its drought tolerance.
