The Bright Edge yucca is perfect for a low maintenance garden.
But first, let’s make sure we’re talking about the same plant. It is actually a dwarf cultivar of the popular Adams Needle Yucca. Its proper name is Yucca Filamentosa.
Considered to be an extremely hardy plant, the yucca can withstand the heat of summer and freezing temperatures in the winter (zones 4-10).
The bright edge yucca requires little care; moderate watering, light fertilization, good drainage for the roots and minimal pruning.
What could be easier?
The rosette stands only about 2 feet tall, and the flower stalks rise 3-4 feet. The spread of the rosette will be less than 2 feet. It's good to keep this diameter in mind when plotting where you will be planting the yucca.
The bright edge yucca got its name because of the color of its leaves. The plants offers the traditional dark green leaves of the Adams Needle yucca with a bright yellow ribbon around the edges.
The stalks bear creamy white bell-shaped flowers that have a sweet smell. These are night blooming flowers, so the smell becomes stronger as the night progresses.
The flower aroma is essential to the pollination of the yucca. The sweet scent attracts the yucca moth, which pollinates the plants and continues their life cycle.
The flowers will not start to appear until the plant is mature, which can take a couple of years, but you’ll be glad you did. Once it does begin flowering it will start in spring and continue all the way through early fall.
