Growing Notes

Yuccas are exceptionally drought tolerant, not needing additional water once established in coastal California. They will however, grow faster, look more lush and bloom more if given water once they dry out. This yucca grows very quickly if given good drainage and summer water.
In drier climates this plant can be grown in part sun, but it will be more open and floppy and its typical glow becomes more muted.
