Ivory Towers Yucca is a nearly stemless dwarf evergreen shrub with rigid variegated sword-like medium green striped with grey green foliage and curling treads along the margins.  A large central stalk rises in summer bearing long panicles of fragrant nodding ivory  white flowers followed by seed capsules.  Best color with full sun and dry to medium well-drained soils.  It is drought, salt, and shade tolerant.

Yucca filamentosa is a southeastern native that hosts the Yucca Giant-Skipper and the Cofaqui Giant Skipper butterflies.  The nectar provides for hummingbirds and other moths and butterflies, while the berries are eaten by small mammals.
