Yucca Faxon is wonderfully known as the ‘Spanish Dagger.’ This striking tree-like yucca showcases an impressively thick, sturdy trunk and makes a statement in any landscape. It can tower up to 10 feet tall when fully matured, with long, graceful leaves radiating outward to about 8 feet wide. Just a friendly reminder: give this yucca plenty of space to flourish and avoid planting it too close to walkways. It’s not only hardy down to about 0 degrees, but it also thrives in heat and is drought-resistant, making it a resilient choice for your garden.
As it matures, this slow-growing yucca can reach heights of up to 15 feet and spread out to 10 feet. It features beautiful rosette-shaped leaves and a unique trunk structure. Each spring, it delights us with a charming display of creamy white, bell-shaped blossoms that rise majestically from the center of the plant on a 3 to 4-foot flower stalk.
