Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family. Its 40 to 50 species are notable for their tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal pinnacles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. They are widely planted in the western US as a landscape plant. Most species are generally heat and cold tolerant, requiring little care and low water. They offer a dramatic accent to a landscape design.
