    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Yucca gloriosa ‘Bright Star’ displays an upright rosette of stiff, lance-shaped, grey-green foliage edged in gold. Stalks of white, bell-shaped flowers arise from the center of the plant. Evergreen. Plant in any well-drained soil. Uses little water once established. Makes a beautiful accent plant for landscapes, large containers or borders.

    This mutant, an offspring of Y. gloriosa 'Variegata', has olive green and delightful, warm cream leaves, their variegation covering most of the leaf. Not as fast growing as its parent, but vigorous nonetheless. To about 18”, enjoying partial shade to full sun ... mostly shade in extremely hot summer climates. A definite bright spot in the garden or in container, it has been unfazed by temperatures of 14 °F and will probably go to about 10 °F, the bottom of USDA zone 8. Drought tolerant as with most yuccas but would enjoy occasional summer water to speed growth.

    Dramatic golden (mixed with a bit of cream ; pink) variegations make this 2 footer a truly bright star, along with an agave-like habit of foliage curving into a short center stem... very handsome.
