Notes
'Golden Sword' Adam's needle (Yucca filamentosa 'Golden Sword') 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 is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It is evergreen, so the leaves keep their color through winter. Bees, birds, and hummingbirds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Blue sage, Prairie dropseed, and Creeping phlox.
