Yucca rostrata ‘Saphire Skies’

Description

Yucca rostrata ‘Saphire Skies’ is a beautiful form with very glaucous leave indeed. The leaves form a wonderful dense ball shaped head which will reach up to a metre across and as the plant matures it deveops a thick stem/trunk which can ultimately reach up to 3-4m in height!  Occasionally it will flower too producing a flowing stem above the crown holding creamy white fragrant tulip shaped flowers.

This is an excellent plant on the coast and in a sunny position in free draining soil.  It’s hardy too and outrageously architectural.  Yucca rostrata do grow surprisingly quickly in the UK.  You may also grow in containers to great effect.
