Notes

'Ivory' weak-leaf yucca (Yucca flaccida 'Ivory') is an evergreen perennial for specimen plantings, rock gardens, and accents. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to wet, sandy soil. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Its erect clumps grow slowly and add winter interest. Flowers appear from early to late summer and attract butterflies, bees, and birds.

Pairs well with Big bluestem, Hairy aster, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
