Description
Yucca rostrata is a slow growing succulent, growing 10'-12', that is tree-like when mature. It has stiff, blue, 2' long leaves with yellow margins. It forms a tall narrow trunk. A spectacular summer display of creamy white flowers on an orange stalk rise above the foliage on mature plants. It prefers full sun or very light shade and rocky, well drained, alkaline soil. Be careful not to plant near walkways as foliage has sharp tips. It is drought tolerant once it's established.

Water Saving Tip:
Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
