These tough plants are rock stars in a full-sun garden and can stand up to some serious drought. Grown primarily for their showy evergreen foliage, some yuccas put on candelabra-like blossoms. Not only do these plants work well in a dry garden as an architectural accent, but they also make a prized container plant.
Care:
Simply cut off the top portion of a trunk down to the desired size.
However, this growth can sometimes be unpredictable. At this same time, offsets can be cut away and replanted if desired.
For stemless rosette types, dead or damaged leaves along the bottom of the plant can be removed at any time to clean up the plant.
Flower stalks should be cut back to the base after flowering.
