Add item to quote to see pricing

Yucca schottii is an extraordinary specimen of natural architecture hailing from the Agavaceae family. Often recognized as Schott's Yucca, this radiant shrub punctuates landscapes with commanding presence. Growing upwards of 16 feet tall, its robust structure is a blueprint of slender, erect stems clad in a rosette of sharp, blue-gray leaves. The plant demonstrates an unparalleled desert artistry in late spring when it unfurls a spectacle of floral grandeur; a towering stalk up to 15 feet high, bedecked in delicate, bell-shaped blossoms that oscillate between pure white and soft, buttery yellow. This drought-resistant marvel thrives under the fierce gaze of the full sun and in arid, well-drained soils, making it an optimum selection for rock gardens and xeriscapes. Unwavering in resilience, Schott's Yucca comfortably endures temperature extremes, volunteering its unique Southwestern charm to a variety of hardiness zones – a testament to its capacity to withstand cold as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring home Yucca schottii, and invite a bit of the desert's formidable beauty and resilience into your garden.
