10 Yucca Rigida - Blue Yucca Seeds

Yucca Rigida, or Blue Yucca, is an elegant, architectural desert plant prized for its dramatic, trunk-forming structure and striking powder-blue, sword-like leaves. This hardy species starts as a low rosette, eventually developing a tall trunk over time. In natural settings, it can reach up to 15 feet, with clusters of white flowers blooming 2-3 feet above the foliage.

A rarer counterpart to Yucca rostrata, Yucca rigida features stiffer leaves and thrives in hot, sunny locations with excellent drainage. Perfect for adding a bold, sculptural element to xeriscapes or desert gardens.
