Yucca constricta
Buckley's yucca is typically found on rocky limestone prairies in eastern North Central Texas, but it can also be found along the Gulf of Mexico, the Rio Grande, and into the southern Plains. The plant has long and straight pale blue-green to pastel blue leaves, and is somewhat distinctively textured, with 100 to 200 narrow (quarter to a half inch) leaves. Each leaf has a short, stout spine at the end and curly threads run along its margins. The globose, symmetrical head of the plant creates an interesting contrast with the open, graceful flower stalk. This stemless yucca can form clumps or single plants and sometimes has arching or trailing stems and multiple heads, making for very picturesque specimens.

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.
