ADAM'S NEEDLE

Adam’s Needle Yucca, scientifically known as Yucca filamentosa, is a striking perennial plant native to the southeastern United States. Characterized by its sword-like leaves forming dense rosettes, this yucca species adds architectural interest to landscapes. Its rigid, sharp-pointed leaves have fibrous threads along the margins, giving them a unique texture. In summer, tall flower spikes emerge, bearing clusters of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers. Adam’s Needle Yucca thrives in various conditions, including full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires minimal maintenance, making it suitable for xeriscaping and low-water landscapes. Despite its sharp leaves, its dramatic foliage and resilience make it a popular choice for gardens, rockeries, and coastal landscapes.
