About Buckley's yucca

Buckley's yucca is a wonderful native plant that brings both beauty and purpose to your garden. Its striking sword-like leaves create wonderful architectural interest, and pollinators absolutely love the tall flower spikes when they bloom. Birds and other wildlife are drawn to this plant, making it a living magnet for the natural world right in your yard. It's truly a plant that earns its keep.

This hardy perennial is simple to grow once established. It prefers full sun and well-draining soil, so plant it where water drains quickly after rain. Water it regularly while it's getting started, then you can step back and let nature take over. With minimal fussing, this native beauty will reward you with years of low-maintenance enjoyment.
