Sapphire Skies Yucca is a hardy evergreen shrub with a slow-growing, tree-like habit. Its slender, blue-green leaves form a dense, spherical crown atop a sturdy trunk, creating a dramatic silhouette. In late spring to early summer, tall and showy spikes of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers attract a variety of pollinators. This plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Drought tolerant and deer resistant.
