Texas Sacahuista
Nolina texana
Texas sacahuista is an evergreen, clump-forming perennial from the desert Southwest, grown for its dense mound of narrow, firm-textured leaves and low-maintenance drought tolerance. Slender flower stalks rise above the foliage in spring, carrying clusters of small white flowers that attract butterflies. It thrives in rocky, well-drained soil, including limestone and caliche ground, and needs almost no supplemental water once established.
