Yucca Blue Sentry
Yucca rigida 'Blue Sentry'Yucca Blue Sentry is a distinctive ornamental yucca known for its tall, narrow, columnar growth and refined blue-green foliage. Its slender, sword-like leaves grow upright, creating a clean architectural silhouette that adds height and structure without taking up much space. This makes Yucca Blue Sentry an excellent choice for modern landscapes, entryways, and tight garden areas where vertical interest is desired.
Exceptionally tough and drought tolerant, this Yucca thrives in full sun and hot conditions. Once established, it requires very little water and minimal maintenance, making it ideal for xeriscaping and water-wise gardens. The evergreen foliage maintains its striking color year-round, and the plant can be used as a dramatic focal point, planted in rows for a formal look, or grown in containers to accent patios and walkways.
Care Instructions

Pruning:
Remove dead or damaged leaves near the base as needed. Minimal pruning is required.
Pest Control:
Generally pest resistant. Occasionally monitor for scale insects or mites and treat promptly if necessary.
