Yucca

The yucca flowers don't last very long, only about two weeks if the weather cooperates. They always remind me of a bride adorned for a wedding. The plant itself looks like cacti and is not pleasant to work around. Sometimes weeds get a foot hold but it doesn't seem to mind being disturbed when you work out the weeds. It multiplies readily, so be sure to put it where it has plenty of room. Ours is migrating down a steep ditch and filling in very nicely. Our variety has the shorter stalks and stays upright in the wind. If you plant the taller type you may need to do some staking.
