Family: (Asparagaceae)
(P) to 4′. Bear Grass Yucca. Southern North America. This Yucca is similar in many ways to the more popular Adam’s Needle (Yucca filamentosa), however smaller in stature. Also, the leaves are finer, flatter, and narrower with smoother leaf margins, except for the occasional thread-like fibres. The flowers are opalescent white and may at times have a light pink-tinge. Yuccas will form a small colony over time from basal offsets. Well-drained soil. Sun. 3 & T2
