Plant Description

The Yucca elata, often called the soap tree yucca, is a striking desert plant native to arid regions, including the iconic White Sands National Park. It features a tall, slender trunk topped with a dense cluster of narrow, sword-like leaves with finely serrated edges. This yucca produces a dramatic flower spike in late spring, adorned with creamy white, bell-shaped blooms that are both fragrant and visually stunning. Adapted to harsh environments, the Yucca elata thrives in sandy soils and contributes to the unique desert ecosystem of White Sands.
