Notes
'Bright Edge' Adam's needle (Yucca filamentosa 'Bright Edge') is a perennial for rock gardens, accents, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays evergreen, so it adds form to the garden all year. Creamy white flowers open in spring and again in summer, and bees and hummingbirds visit them. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Prairie dropseed, Blue sage, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
