Mountain Yucca, Hoary Yucca, Schott's Yucca
Yucca schottii

This Yucca naturally grows in forests at higher elevations so shaded areas in the low deserts are a desirable planting location. Stiff blue-green leaves require it to be planted away from walking areas. Mature plants make a bold statement in the landscape, nice creamy white flowers in the summer. Provide good drainage. .
