Yucca pendula glauca
Commonly known as Soft Leaf Yucca, Weeping Soft Leaf Yucca, Mound Lily Yucca, Curve Leaf Yucca
Soft Leaf Yucca is a small-trunked yucca with blueish-green leaves that grow outward and then bend downwards, ending with sharp tips. These flexible, downward-curving leaves make this yucca a better choice for walkways than most other yuccas, since its sharp tips are not pointed outwards towards passing ankles or legs. When it blooms, it will grow a stalk from its center 3 to 4 feet tall with white, bell-shaped flowers.
This plant is a larval host plant for the Yucca Giant Skipper Butterfly. Like all yuccas, Soft Leaf Yucca requires soil with good drainage. It prefers full sun, but can tolerate some light shade, though it may not grow as quickly or bloom as brilliantly.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 10-15 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
