Yucca baccata var. brevifolia var. brevifolia
Yucca baccata var. brevifolia is a striking desert succulent that requires excellent drainage and full sun to thrive in the landscape. It is exceptionally drought tolerant once established and needs minimal care, making it ideal for low-water Southwest gardens. Avoid overwatering at all costs, as soggy soil quickly leads to root rot.
