Beaked Yucca
Beaked Yucca (Yucca rostrata) is a distinctive and sculptural Texas native prized for its elegant form and durability. This slow-growing evergreen forms a tall, solitary trunk crowned with a perfectly rounded cluster of narrow, blue-gray leaves that radiate in all directions, giving it a striking architectural presence. In late spring, mature plants send up tall spikes of creamy white flowers that attract pollinators.
