Yucca rupicola x pallida
Twisted leaf yucca is ideal for small spaces. This petite, stemless yucca forms a clump of about 2 feet tall by 2 to 3 feet wide. Its contorted bright green leaves twist and turn, giving this plant a distinctive form. It produces 5-foot-tall, open spikes of creamy white flowers in the late spring and summer. Native to central Texas, this yucca is often growing under mesquites and oaks' broken shade. Twisted leaf yucca thrives in full sun to part shade, provided the soil is well-drained. Yucca rupicola hybridizes readily with Yucca pallida, resulting in seedlings with green, twisted leaves. Twisted leaf yucca is hardy to -10º F.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
