Yucca gloriosa var. recurvifolia
Common name: glorious yucca, curve leaf yucca
Family: Asparagaceae
Leaf: leaf blade mostly recurving, sword- shaped, broad, strappy, blue-gray, 20-40" long, flexible, margins narrowly yellow or brown
Flower: Inflorescence barely extending beyond rosettes, the stalk being up to 3' tall panicles of white to slightly greenish white bell-shaped flowers, flowering in spring
Fruit: leathery, elongate berry
Height: 8-10; Spread: 6-8'
Habit: evergreen shrub, in time growing a trunk-like base; Form: mounded, becoming somewhat arborescent
Culture: Plant in full sun to part sun in lean, poor, very-well drained soils. Does not like "wet feet". Does not transplant well at all, so be sure to plant and establish where you want it to be long term. Can be pruned to make the trunk look more visible if desired. USDA hardy to zones 7-11
