Yucca aloifolia 'Variegata' (Margined Spanish Bayonet)
Sun Zone: 7-9 84" tall Origin: USA
We love this splendid variegated selection of our southeast US native, the deer-resistant Yucca aloifolia. This has long been one of our favorite garden plants; however, propagation difficulties had limited our offering of this gem...but not any more. Each 6" thick trunk can reach 7' tall and is adorned with rigid bayonet-like leaves of medium green, surrounded by a bicolor margin of light green and edged in creamy yellow. When the plants reach 3-4' tall, they are topped with 2' tall flower plumes of white bells in early summer...simply stunning! Although it handled -9 degrees F in 1984/85, it seems to dislike extended periods at or below 0 degrees F. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #02105

Yucca constricta coll. #D28-31 (White Rim Soapwort)
SunZone: 7-9, possibly colder 36" tall Origin: USA
NEW!
Similar to Yucca glauca, Yucca constricta makes a 3' wide rosette of very narrow, glaucous-green leaves with what appears to be a white border. With age, Y. constricta will develop a short 2' trunk. In late spring, the clumps are topped with a dramatic 6' tall flowering spike of white bell-shaped flowers...a beautiful accent plant. This Yucca Do collection comes from Real County, Texas, so I guess when it flowers, you'll have a Real-ity show...sorry, it's really late at night and I've polished off far too many glasses of chocolate milk to be vaguely coherent. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #09007

Yucca torreyi (Torrey's Soapwort)
SunZone: 7-10 96" tall Origin: USA, Mexico
This easy-to-grow, deer-resistant yucca will eventually make a tree to 15' tall. In 10 years, expect a stunning 8' tall architectural specimen with wide, rigid, blue-green, bayonet-like leaves to 3' long. When the plant gets established it will reward you with a 4' tall spike of white, bell-shaped flowers plus lots of laughs as you ask friends to weed around it. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #01774
