Adam's Needle Yucca has white bell-shaped flowers on semi-woody stems. The evergreen leaves are sword-shaped and green with a yellow variegation. Virtually stemless leaves form a foliage clump at soil level. Bloom time is summer, and the rosettes that flower will die after the blooms fade and new side pups quickly sprout to form new plants!

Caring for a Yucca filamentosa, also known as Adam's Needle or Common Yucca, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. Part of the agave family, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Place your Yucca filamentosa in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. It is adaptable to various soil types (including sandy soils) but prefers well-draining soil. Water the plant sparingly, as it is highly drought tolerant and can suffer from root rot if overwatered. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Fertilize the plant sparingly in the spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer formulated for outdoor plants. Prune any dead or damaged leaves and flower stalks to maintain a tidy appearance. Yucca filamentosa is a hardy plant that requires minimal maintenance and is resistant to pests and diseases. With proper care, your Yucca filamentosa will thrive and showcase its striking sword-like leaves and tall flower spikes.
