Yucca FRENCH FLAG

Yucca ‘French Flag’ is a striking interspecific hybrid between Y. filamentosa and Y. rostrata that immediately draws the eye with its silvery blue leaves. The long, narrow leaves form a stunning rosette, making it a showstopper in any landscape. Its softer texture makes it more approachable than one of its parents, Yucca rostrata. In late spring, tall panicles of showy ivory-white flowers rise above the foliage, creating a dramatic contrast against the striking silvery blue leaves. ‘French Flag’ is evergreen, drought tolerant, low maintenance and notably hardy, making it a dependable choice for Mediterranean-style borders, gravel gardens, rock gardens, and large containers on terraces or balconies. Yucca ‘French Flag’ grows up to 100–150 cm high and wide and prefers a spot in well-drained soil in full sun. Hardiness zone: 6a (−23 to −21°C).
