  • Description

  • Notes

This evergreen yucca will grow 3 to 4 feet tall and 5 feet wide, with rosettes of stiff, narrow green leaves with golden yellow centers. Flower spires, 4 to 6 feet tall, arise out of the clumps, covered in fragrant, ivory white blooms. Provides dramatic architectural interest and winter presence. Use is sunny borders, against south or west facing walls and fences, or in rock gardens.
