Overview

Yucca pallida, known as Pale Leaf Yucca, is a low-growing, evergreen perennial with a compact rosette of silvery-blue leaves reaching up to 2 feet in width and height. Its arched, spine-tipped foliage is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, suiting zones 7-11. In late spring, mature plants may sport a 5-foot spike adorned with creamy-white flowers, enhancing xeriscaped gardens and adding a sculptural element to rockeries and arid landscapes.
