Blue Sentry Yucca

The Blue Sentry Yucca forms a dramatic clump of bold blue-gray leaves thrusting out of the ground to a height of 2 or 3 feet. It will grow into a cluster of leaves about 3 feet across, or a little more. The leaves are narrow, leathery and end in a sharp spine and they are evergreen, lasting for several years. In time tall spikes of creamy-white flowers will form in summer, adding to the interest and beauty of this remarkable plant. This tough American native plant grows well even in the hottest and driest parts of any garden, and once established it never needs watering. Plant it among gravel and boulders in a xeric (no-watering) garden, at the beach, or in a container to decorate a sunny terrace or patio.

• Bold upright clump of striking narrow blue leaves
• Perfect choice for those hot and dry parts of the garden
• Tough and hardy even in zone 5
• Great native plant for xeric gardens
• beautiful spikes of white flowers on older plants

Plant the Blue Sentry Yucca in full sun, in well-drained soil of any type. It thrives in sand, gravel and stone, and it should not be planted in rich, moist soils. In containers and planters use potting soil for succulents and cactus plants. This plant is hardy to zone 5, and it almost never suffers from pests or diseases, and it is left alone by deer. In those hot parts of every garden, where other plants need constant watering, and often perish anyway, plant the beautiful Blue Sentry Yucca, and forget about watering at all after the first season.
