Featured Plant Yucca constricta Buckley’s yucca (Yucca
constricta) is a medium-sized yucca native to the Edwards Plateau of
Central Texas and into South and West Texas. Despite its modest size and
graceful form, Buckley’s yucca is little used in gardens in the region.
Numerous narrow, two-foot long, filamentous leaves form a tight head. Stemless
when young, older specimens often develop a truck up to five feet tall. The
tall, slightly branched flowering stalk has cream colored flowers held high
above the leaves. Use Buckley’s yucca to provide a strong focal point and
textural contrast to perennial gardens, borders, native gardens or any dry area
of the garden.
