Description

This clumping beautiful yucca reaches 4-5' tall and wide. It has large, blue-green, sword-like leaves with gold margins that turn cream with maturity. White, bell-shaped flowers bloom in summer, quite spectacular. But this plant is savored for its foliage. It does best in full sun with well draining soil. This evergreen plant looks great in containers. It tolerates coastal conditions, heat, humidity, even cold. Established plants need minimal care and water.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems.

Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
