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.

  • Description

  • Notes

Harriman yucca is a striking accent in a dry, naturally-styled landscape. Leaves are evergreen, sword-like, narrow and tappering to a point, with sharp tips, and form clumps to 3 feet tall and wide (though they do colonize over time and can become wider). Flower spires are up to 5 feet tall and are lined with bell-shaped, creamt flowers tinged with purple. The leaves are used to make a course rope.
