Yucca faxoniana Southeastern Native a magenta few other butterflyThis big slow growing tree like yucca can be single stem or branched. The leaves are 2 3 feet long and 2 3 inches wide. Large branched clusters of white bell like flowers follwed by large fleshy seed capsules are borne at the top of the mature plants. Native to west Texas it is an imposing plant in desert landscapes there. Large specimens transplanted to some southeastern landscape plantings from Virginia southward have proven hardy and adaptable.
