Adams Needle Yuccas are hardier than they appear, and only fail in cold exposed inland positions, where they are better grown as container plants. The remarkable flower-spikes, 6' or more high, appear when plants are five or more years old. This variety has a white edge. The Adams Needle bush, Yucca filamentosa, has stiff evergreen rosettes and are part of the scene in hot dry Central and North American scrublands. Yucca filamentosa makes dense clumps of stiff leaves 30 inches or so long and edged with fine curly hairs. Otherwise they are handsome architectural foliage plants for dry, sunny borders.
