About This Plant
Yucca rostrata 'Sapphire Skies' (Beaked Yucca), 'Sapphire Skies', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
Yuccas are bold sculptural evergreens with sword-shaped leaves and spectacular tall white flower spikes in summer. Excellent drought-tolerant accent shrubs for sunny, well-drained sites.
Full sun suits this species. Plant in well-drained, lean, sandy soil. Hardy USDA Zone 4 to 10. Drought-tolerant once established; resents wet feet. Sharp leaf tips , site away from foot traffic. Generally trouble-free.
For a Pacific Northwest native plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
