Hello,

I have some of this one too, but in our climate they are not at all as "blue" as yours, but more like a shiny green. I have not dared to plant any out into the garden yet

Have a nice day

Benny

Mine look more green like Benny says.....likely due to climate issues.

Here's mine.....did not grow much at all this season.......not very aggressive in my climate.

Strange behavior for Y. gloriosa/recurvifolia/filamentosa (aloifolia also?) possible gene mix. All other Yucca spp. from eastern coast have good growth in your garden.

I have find someone public album (member abborean, someone well versed in Yucca plants) on photobucket with pictures of this Yucca

"Wrightsville Beach X
hybrid? with spotted leaves usually typical of recurvifolia
