About Nolina erumpens (Torr.) S.Watson
Nolina erumpens produces sharp, serrated leaves that grow in wide tufts. Each leaf is 2 to 2.6 feet long, 0.8 inch wide, marked with longitudinal grooves, and has loose, hanging filament-like appendages along its margins. Its inflorescences are club-shaped, and rarely grow longer than the leaves; these structures hold numerous tiny, cream-colored flowers. This plant flowers in late spring and early summer, and its flowers attract ants, wasps, and bees. It produces thin-walled, capsule-shaped fruit. In cultivation, Nolina erumpens is extremely rare in amateur private collections, but can sometimes be found in succulent plant collections at some botanical gardens.
