Yucca baccata

Horticultural Data | Shipping & Availability | Top

This yucca has large gray-green stout straplike and sharply pointed leaves leaves. The leaves which are 2-3′ long also have curly white fibers on their margins. Leaves grow in a spiral rosette from the base stem. Yucca baccata blooms in summer with a beautiful display of large white bell shaped flowers which hang from short branches on a central inflorescence. Individual rosettes are monocarpic and die after flowering but often offset many smaller plants at the base.

Yucca baccata makes a nice landscape border plant. It is a nice plant for street medians, xeriscape and succulent gardens. It can also be grown in a large container.

Native Americans had many uses for this plant. Leaf fibers were uses to make string and ropes and woven into fabrics, garments, baskets and mats. The leaf tips were used as paint brushes for decorating pottery. From the saponin-rich roots shampoo and soap products were obtained. Some rootbeers use the yucca to create a rich foamy head. The fruits, which look like short green bananas, are edible and were eaten green or stored for winter consumption. Young flower shoots were also eaten like asparagus.

The woodrat also uses this plant’s leaves to create the outer portion of its burrow-style nest. Like many yuccas it is pollinated by a moth which is specific to each species. Outside of its native habitat it must be hand pollinated to set seed.

This plant can be grown from seed or also from plantlets offset at the base.
