Yucca filamentosa, commonly called Adam’s Needle, forms a dense rosette of rigid, blue-green leaves with curly white filaments along the edges. In early to midsummer, it produces tall flower stalks up to 6 feet high, topped with nodding, bell-shaped white blooms. This native perennial grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, thrives in heat and drought, and is excellent for xeriscaping, erosion control, or architectural focal points in full sun.
