    Low growing w/yellow edged leaves, tall bloom spikes with creamy white flowers.

    A handsome yucca, popular for its long, strappy and lax leaves, to 2-3' long, green-centered with gold margins and curly threads on the edges. Flowers are very showy, white on flower stalks to 12' tall. Excellent as a visual accent with leaf edges that aren't sharp so it can line a path or border. Lean, well-drained soil in full sun with average summer water for best color, though tolerates some shade and some drought. Definitely frost hardy in USDA zone 7 and reportedly in USDA zone 5.
