rubs Yucca fi lamentosa

Adam’s NeedleAs a bold accent in groups or in the border, evergreen Yucca is unsurpassed. The sword-like blue-green leaves of this native, with thin curling threads on the leaf margins, are 3–4’ high and are of interest all year long. In July and August, very showy and fragrant, creamy-white, bell-shaped fl ower spikes rise on stiff stems to 5–6’. Sun and drought-tolerant, its foliage is a great contrast to a host of fi ner-textured plants. Plant 2’ apart.

The white fl owers in July-August on strong stems are a delightful after-thought. Plant 2’ apart.
