Variegated Floppy or Weak Leafed Yucca
In stock · from $37.99
Wide, lance shaped leaves are green with a broad yellow center and are less rigid than other yucca, leading to the common name of Floppy Yucca. Native to eastern North America. Drought, deer, and heat tolerant. All but the roots are edible, with stems reminiscent of asparagus, to which the plant is related. Spikes holding clusters of bell-shaped, creamy white flowers bloom in summer and attract many pollinators.
