Yucca pallida evergreen rounded south American cactusNative from Waco, Texas south, this clay tolerant yucca has no trunk, but offsets rather nicely forming an evenly spaced 'grove'. Translucent leaf edges on glaucous blue, long leaves are an excellent late afternoon cheap thrill. Each clump 2 ft tall and wide. Best where it receives a bit of water in the summer. Blooms best after a fire. Cold hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. BLUE SOAPWART Agavaceae
