Yucca constricta is usually acaulescent (trunkless), sometimes growing in clumps, spreading by trailing stems. Flowering stalks reach as high as 50 cm (20 inches) with pendent, greenish-white flowers. Fruit is a dry capsule with shiny black seeds.^{[5][6][7][4][8][9]}

Yucca constricta is relatively abundant, and although it has local threats, its population appears to be stable overall.^[1]
