This unique plant can provide a simple and sleek look to your collection. We grow this plant in a variety of ways including in a pot, in trays, or out in our fields. Because of this, we ship this plant bare-root. When you order this plant, you will receive one that looks similar to the photos above.
The Hesperoyucca whipplei goes by many other names, including chaparral yucca, Spanish bayonet, Quixote yucca, or foothill yucca. It is native to California, and Baja California, Mexico. It is often used in xeriscaping and is an extremely drought-tolerant plant that thrives in clay soils.
Details:
- Leaves grow between 20 to 90 cm long and 0.7 to 2cm wide
- Rigid leaves with sharp point at the end
- Gray-green color
- Takes 5 years to mature and flower
- Produces offshoots
This is a unique plant because after it flowers, it generally dies. But since it produces so many offshoots, the cluster of clones around the parent plant will grow and reproduce. It may even grow back from its base.

United StatesGorgeous plant, very healthy!
Healthy, arrived fast, packed well. Thank you!
United StatesArrived fine
The bare-root plant and the other items arrived well packaged. Three weeks later the Hesperoyucca whipplei Specimen has burnt tips. I just added grow lights, so the increased light may be the culprit.
