Yellow Yucca
Hesperaloe parviflora (yellow form)Yucca Yellow is a striking architectural plant prized for its vibrant yellow-green, sword-shaped leaves that grow in dramatic rosettes. Its bold foliage adds texture and contrast to garden beds, rock gardens, and contemporary landscapes. Evergreen in warm climates, Yucca Yellow maintains its color year-round and serves as a strong focal point either planted alone or grouped for visual impact.
Naturally drought tolerant and sun loving, this yucca is well suited for low-maintenance gardens. It thrives in hot, dry conditions where many plants struggle, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping. Yucca Yellow is also highly adaptable to container planting, bringing a sculptural look to patios and entryways while requiring minimal care.
Care Instructions

Plant in full sun for best color. Space plants to allow airflow and accommodate mature size.
Watering:
Water deeply but infrequently. Once established, it prefers dry soil and is highly drought tolerant.
Pruning:
Remove dead or damaged leaves at the base as needed to maintain a clean appearance.
Pest Control:
Generally pest resistant. Watch for scale or aphids and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
Soil Tips:
Use well-draining soil. Sandy or rocky soils are ideal; avoid heavy, water-retentive ground to prevent root rot.
