Yucca Bright Star

Yucca Bright Star

Yucca Bright Star is a striking ornamental yucca valued for its vibrant variegated foliage and manageable size. Its stiff, sword-shaped leaves display bright golden-yellow centers edged in blue-green, creating a luminous, starburst effect that stands out in any landscape. In cooler weather, the foliage may develop soft pink or coral tones, adding seasonal interest and depth of color.

This evergreen yucca is ideal for low-water landscapes, modern garden designs, and decorative containers. It thrives in full sun and is exceptionally drought tolerant once established, making it a smart choice for gardeners seeking beauty with minimal maintenance. Its compact growth habit works well in borders, rock gardens, and as a bold accent plant in both residential and commercial settings.

Care Instructions

Planting:
Plant in full sun to maximize color intensity, though light shade is acceptable. Space to allow for mature growth.

Watering:
Water regularly during establishment. Afterward, water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

Pruning:
Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base as needed. Little pruning is required.

Pest Control:
Rarely affected by pests. Inspect occasionally for scale insects and treat promptly if detected.

Soil Tips:
Use fast-draining soil. Sandy or rocky soils are ideal; avoid heavy, moisture-retentive soil to prevent root rot.
