Yucca whipplei
Description:
This monocarpic Yucca is native to California growing from sea level to high elevations in the mountains. From the sharp silvery leaves the spectacular inflorescence can rise from 1.2 - 5 metres tall and is adorned with creamy white flowers. I have seen this species at high elevations in the San Jacinto Mountains where the dramatic flower spikes erupt off the slopes in late spring. Provide sharp drainage and protection from winter rains.
