Description
Yucca Ivory Tower is a stunning architectural perennial that delivers structure, texture, and a bold vertical statement in the landscape. Its upright rosette of sword-like, blue-green foliage forms a beautiful, tidy base year-round. In early to midsummer, towering spikes rise above the foliage, topped with showy clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers that bring a refreshing splash of elegance and seasonal drama. The strong vertical form and distinctive silhouette make it a standout in rock gardens, modern landscapes, and along sunny borders.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, it requires very minimal supplemental watering
- Mulching: Apply mulch only if needed to suppress weeds, keeping it clear of the base to prevent moisture buildup
- Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks in late summer and clean up dead foliage as needed
With its striking foliage, tall flower spikes, and drought-tolerant nature, Yucca Ivory Tower offers a bold, sculptural presence that adds lasting beauty and strong structure to the landscape with very little maintenance.
