Manfreda maculosa carries the rugged beauty of the American Southwest into the garden. Known by a string of evocative names, Texas tuberose, spice lily, and rattlesnake agave, this striking plant hails from the arid country of Texas and northern Mexico, where the spotted leaves and tall, aromatic flower stalks have caught the eye of gardeners and naturalists for generations.
A fine-textured native yucca from the Texas hill country. Yucca constricta, the Buckley yucca, forms a stemless or short-stemmed rosette, single or clustered, of many very narrow, blue-green, spine-tipped leaves edged with curling white marginal filaments. The species honors the nineteenth-century naturalist Samuel Botsford Buckley, and the epithet constricta notes the narrowed leaves that give the plant a softer, more delicate look than the bolder yuccas.
