Plant Biography
Native to dry, arid lands in the USA and Mexico, the purpose of Yucca rostrata’s stunning glaucous blue colour is an adaption needed to reflect some of the extremely bright light and heat in its native desert home.
For thousands of years these plants have been used by Native American people, who refer to them as ‘palmita’ and ‘soyate’, as a source of both food and fibres.
More recently, the Beaked Yucca has grown greatly in ornamental popularity as when planted they make for a great accent in gardens with succulent or mixed arid planting. Kept in a container they can add shimmering blue interest to an intensely sunny spot in any garden with very little maintenance.
Expert Tip
Care & Size Guidance
Once the plant is mature, towering flower spikes can emerge from the plant around spring and summer and produce large bell shaped white flowers.
It will eventually grow upwards to form a trunk, covered in the creamy straw coloured remnants of its older foliage which can be trimmed or left to form a ‘skirt’ beneath the crown as it would in nature.

Second order from this company. I changed my order on the original day of dispatch and asked for a delayed dispatch. Company could not have been more helpful. My Yuccas duly arrived and I am delighted with both the size and quality. The packaging was brilliant, as before and both plants were beautifully protected. I am looking forward to watching their development.

This plant arrived well packaged for protection during transit (as usual). It was an extremely healthy specimen and looks great as a specimen plant. Have ordered plants before from here and will definitely be ordering more from The Palm Centre.
