Yucca rupicola
Common names include Twistleaf Yucca, Twisted-leaf Yucca, Texas Yucca, and Twisted Spanish Dagger.
A fantastic choice for smaller spaces. This charming, stemless yucca typically grows to about 2 feet, spreading to 2 to 3 feet wide. Its twisted bright green leaves create a unique and eye-catching look. In late spring, you can enjoy its lovely 5-foot-tall spikes of creamy white bell-shaped flowers.
Native to shallow, stony soils in fields, among scattered trees, in dense brush, open woodlands, and on limestone ledges in central Texas. Endemic to the Edwards Plateau eco region. It does best in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. Can withstand temperatures as low as -10º F.
Great to plant in sunny or shaded rock gardens or shortgrass meadows.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
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.
