📌 Product Description

Yucca Variegata is a striking, evergreen architectural plant known for its bold, sword-shaped leaves with creamy-yellow or white variegated margins. Its dramatic form and upright growth habit make it a popular choice for modern gardens, drought-tolerant landscapes, and container planting.

Depending on the variety, it may produce tall flower spikes with clusters of creamy-white bell-shaped flowers during spring or summer. Hardy and low-maintenance, Variegated Yucca thrives in South African coastal, subtropical, and dry inland gardens, making it ideal for water-wise landscaping.
