Hesperaloe Nocturna Night-Blooming Yucca

Hesperaloe nocturna, commonly known as Night-Blooming Yucca, is a distinctive and hardy succulent plant native to the arid regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This plant is recognized for its striking, rosette-like growth habit, with slender, arching leaves that are typically gray-green and often have sharp tips, making it an excellent choice for xeriscape gardens. In summer, Night-Blooming Yucca produces tall, upright spikes adorned with clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that bloom during the nighttime, releasing a sweet fragrance to attract nocturnal pollinators such as moths. The blooms close during the day, adding an element of intrigue to the garden. This low-maintenance plant thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and is highly drought-tolerant, making it a valuable addition to water-wise landscaping.
