Yucca filamentosa: A species that makes dense clumps of narrow foliage, which is edged witth curly white thread. The 6 ft flower spikes consisting of dozens of creamy white bell shaped flowers appear during late summer.
"Variegata" is equally hardy and has yellow striped leaves.
Yucca flaccida : Similar to the related filamentosa, however the leaf tips bend downwards.
