Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This CA native is one of the more dramatic Nolina's looking like a cross between Yucca, Bear Grass and Pampas Grass. A multitude of long leathery leaves in a large crown eventually forming a trunk. Tall plumes of white flowers. Dry, good drainage and best protected in winter.
