Yucca harrimaniae is a small, acaulescent (stemless) species forming clumps of rosettes. Flowers are nodding (hanging downward), partly greenish-white, partly purplish.[9] The species is closely related to Y. sterilis (Neese & S.L.Welsh) S.L.Welsh & L.C.Higgins..[2]

The overall species is relatively common and widespread. Two varieties, var. nana and var. sterilis, have very small and restricted ranges.[1]
