Yucca Rigida

It is one of the most beautiful desert yucca's, with its nearly spherical heads, formed by numerous long blue-green to blue-grey leaves of 40-70 cm long and 1-1,3 cm wide. The inflorescence is about 11 cm and the panicle is about 60 cm long and usually towers above the leaves. Yucca rostrata  x Rigida prefers growing on shallow slopes or ridges of limestone in limestone gravel.  Like all yucca's they like full sun and well-drained soils.  The plant will withstand temperatures down to -15°C.
