Bigelow’s Nolina (Nolina bigelovii) is an evergreen Southwestern plant native to California, Nevada, Arizona, and Baja California. It develops a trunk with age and bears creamy white flowers from May into June on a spike about 6 feet tall. The Southern Nevada Water Authority lists mature dimensions of 4–8 feet tall and 2–6 feet wide, full sun, dry soil, low water use, and USDA zones 7a–10a.

## Landscape Uses
Use Bigelow’s Nolina as an architectural accent in a dry, sunny garden where its mature width and flowering stalk have room. Evergreen foliage provides structure beyond the spring flowering period.
## Maintenance
The water authority rates it very drought tolerant and low in maintenance and water requirement. Keep the site dry and follow local guidance for irrigation and water use.
