Its \u003cstrong\u003eblue-green, sword-like leaves\u003c\/strong\u003e form a substantial\u003cstrong\u003e architectural rosette\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the \u003cstrong\u003ecreamy flower stalks\u003c\/strong\u003e that appear in late spring add a surprisingly showy display. The sharp leaf tips make it better suited to places where people aren't constantly brushing past it, but that same structure makes it an excellent choice for adding texture and definition to a dry garden.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce established, this yucca is remarkably independent. It handles hot, dry conditions, poor soils, and cold winters, and it stays attractive through the winter instead of disappearing after the growing season. With time, it can develop into a broad clump through offsets and rhizomes, giving it a more substantial presence than its slow growth might initially suggest. Its unusual relationship with the yucca moth also makes it an interesting addition to a native-plant garden, while its \u003cstrong\u003efleshy banana-shaped fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e provide an extra bit of botanical interest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Native Utah Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 seedling - 1.5\"W x 8\"D pot","offer_id":54123854168371,"sku":"Carter Yucca baccata 10ci","price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/6308\/6387\/files\/Yuccabaccataflowerstalk2.jpg?v=1790128174","url":"https:\/\/utahplants.com\/products\/banana-yucca","provider":"Native Utah Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
