Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Our collection, from southernmost California, of what we think is the subspecies, producing compact, powder-blue rosettes, somewhat hesitant to offset. To about 3.5' high and wide with stoutly spine-tipped leaves, perfect for directing the mailman from cutting across the garden. The plants flower after about a dozen years, if happy, producing few offsets. Very well-drained soil, though this species is considered the only truly winter-rainfall yucca. Full sun to dappled shade. Good air circulation in rainy places. USDA zone 8.
