Plant Description

Yucca filifera is a towering, tree-like yucca with a robust central trunk that can reach up to 10 meters, crowned by dense rosettes of long, narrow green leaves. These leaves are edged with abundant white filaments, giving it a shaggy, textural look. Native to central Mexico, it produces tall flower spikes bearing large, creamy-white bell-shaped blooms. Its imposing size, filamentous beauty, and high drought tolerance make it a striking feature in arid landscapes.
