Growing and Maintenance Tips:


A bold statement in the landscape, yucca tolerate poor, sandy soils and light shade. They are salt and drought tolerant and removing spent flower stalks will help maintain neatness.

Additional Notes about Yucca:


Yucca filamentosa (part of the Agave family) is almost native. The rosettes that flower will die after the blooms fade and new side pups quickly sprout to form new plants.
