Yucca composition
Native to Mexico and Central America and enjoying the similar climate here in Australia.
The two Yucca gigantea that I grow are currently around 4 metres in height after 15 years. They are insanely hardy. Living on a coastal cliff as I do, they are battered regularly by high winds and salt laden air and don't seem to be bothered one bit!
Pictured here is one of the pendant flowers, white/cream in colour produced in summer time, together with the sword shaped, elegant green leaves.
''Yucca gigantea'' is a species of flowering plant in the asparagus family, native to Mexico and Central America. Growing up to 8–12 m in height, it is an evergreen shrub which is widely cultivated as an ornamental garden or house plant often being called just yucca cane.
