Yucca

(Agavaceae - agave family)

About forty species in the warmer regions of N. America, typically with stiff, leathery, evergreen, sword-like leaves arranged in rosettes. Stemless or with woody trunks, sometimes reaching tree size. Flowers are usually white, bell-shaped, nodding, in large clusters on upright stalks. Cultivated chiefly as ornamentals, although some species are used as sources of fiber, cleaning agents, or food. Yuccas need good drainage and plenty of light, but are otherwise very tolerant and rugged.

Forms a dense clump of bold evergreen foliage. Leaves are broad and flat. The tall, upright stalk, adorned with masses of pendant white flowers, appears in summer. This species is often confused in the nursery trade with Yucca smalliana; often (perhaps usually) plants offered as Yucca filamentosa are actually Yucca smalliana. The true Yucca filamentosa, however, is a generally larger plant, and has a much taller flower stalk, sometimes as much as 15' tall.
