Yucca schottii finally blooming :

[WSimpson]

 

This Yucca schottii  replaced my Yucca aloifolias that kept falling all over the place when they would get tall and start trunking . I wanted one variety that would stay trunking and somehow I decided on this Yucca that I planted about 10 years ago . My first picture of it was July of 2012 . It's front left . The small Yucca rostrata hasn't bloomed yet and it is 7feet tall now .

Thanks Teddy .

I'm looking forward to seeing how tall that flower spike will get . It's in the front yard so it will be showy .

I'm getting on the weed control big time now , so the yard will be a lot nicer when I get rid of those weeds and  that rock natural area is cleaned-up .

Wonderful looking schottii. Does it get protection during winter times? I'm not sure how much cold and wet weather it tolerates.

It gets no protection and it is hardy to zone 5-10 . Maybe it shouldn't be in this category since it is in no way a tropical plant , but it looks a little tropical . I read that they get to 12 feet tall so mine is close to about  as tall as they get . I read that the flower spike is relatively large and really showy .

Hi Will,

So hopefully my seedlings should survive in my 7b zone. The last winter was not really a challenge because of the temperatures, so let's wait and hope.
