  • Adam's needle yucca (Yucca filamentosa) in bloom, whole plant

    Adam's Needle, Yucca Seed

    Adam's Needle, Yucca Seed
    Sunny, dry gardens gain year-round structure from Adam's Needle Yucca, a bold, evergreen native. Yucca filamentosa forms a tidy rosette of stiff, sword-shaped leaves edged with curly white threads. In early summer it sends up tall spikes of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers that are a striking focal point. It is extremely drought tolerant and thrives in sandy or rocky soils, so it is happy in spots where thirstier plants give up.
