Yucca ‘Garland’s Gold’
Variegated Adam’s Needle |
USDA Zone: 5-9 |
Plant number: 1.575.150
Adam’s Needle is a terrific plant for problem sunny areas with dry soil. This selection forms a large evergreen rosette of leathery sword-shaped leaves, grey-green along the edges with a wide yellow center. When mature, the rosettes produce a very tall spike loaded with large, fragrant creamy-white flowers in late summer. An excellent specimen plant for difficult sites. Clumps may need dividing after 5 to 6 years — goggles and gloves are advised. Generally does not require any pruning. Remove faded flower stems to the base after blooming, in late summer.
