Hot summer days are here, and we’d like to talk about heat and drought tolerant yuccas. We offer a great selection of yucca varieties, both low and tree types. Yuccas can be planted any time of the year, including the hottest days of the summer. Banana yuccas (Yucca baccata) are a robust grower with beautiful flower stalks in the summer. Tracy took a photo of daughter Rikki, summer of 2019, at Long John Silver’s Restaurant, on South Western. Behind Rikki was a beautiful banana yucca, planted in the early ‘70’s and bulldozed spring of 2020. It was an impressive planting and we were sorry to see it gone. Yuccas can be long lived and easy care.
