Growing Notes

Can be one of the showiest of flowering plants for a dry border, or structural in company with grasses, shrubs, and other succulents. Quite nice in a large pot, too.
Rarely blooms in shadier spots.
Performs better in cooler coastal areas than parent species Yucca pallida.

Introduced by Tony Avent’s Plant Delights Nursery on its 25th anniversary.
