About
the
Yucca
-
Variegated
:
The
Variegated
Yucca,
Yucca
glauca
variegated,
have
stiff
evergreen
rosettes
and
are
part
of
the
scene
in
hot
dry
Central
and
North
American
scrublands.
Yuccas
are
hardier
than
they
appear,
and
only
fail
in
cold
exposed
inland
positions,
where
they
are
better
grown
as
container
plants.
Otherwise
they
are
handsome
architectural
foliage
plants
for
dry,
sunny
borders.
Yucca
filamentosa
makes
dense
clumps
of
stiff
leaves
30
inch
or
so
long
and
edged
with
fine
curly
hairs.
The
remarkable
flower-spikes,
6'
or
more
high,
appear
when
plants
are
five
or
more
years
old.
