Yucca baccata 'OR' (Oregon Banana Yucca) COLD HARDY

Yucca baccata 'OR"

Oregon Banana Yucca

Really hard to find, healthy, and fully rooted live Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata)! This is the curving leaf variety, rare and sought after for its bluish hue and giant curving spears. With ample water in spring, this variety produces gorgeous spikes of creamy white bell shaped flowers that bloom from spring through mid-summer and smell wonderful! This plant attracts hummingbirds and is truly striking in full sun or part sun conditions. The Banana Yucca's spears naturally weep (or curve) to form an impressive semi-trunking specimen that can reach heights of 4 to 7+ feet, often remaining single trunked (depending on climate conditions). It is a moderate to fast grower, and has performed incredibly well in our cold high desert climate in central Oregon! It is hardy to at least USDA zone 5b, and parent plants have seen temperatures well below -20F. These particular plants were grown from seed collected on our personal property in Oregon which is listed as a zone 6b, so they should hold good cold hardiness. These plants would make excellent additions to your hardy exotic plant collection, or just make a unique statement in your yard!
