Yucca aloifolia, commonly known as Aloe Yucca or Spanish Bayonet, is a striking architectural plant native to the southeastern United States and parts of the Caribbean. This evergreen species forms a bold, upright silhouette with dense rosettes of stiff, sword-shaped leaves that are dark green and sharply pointed—making it a dramatic focal point in dry or coastal gardens. Mature plants produce tall spikes of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage in late spring to summer, adding seasonal interest and attracting pollinators. Tolerant of drought, salt spray, and poor soils, Aloe Yucca is ideal for xeriscaping, containers, or as a sculptural accent in modern and arid-themed landscapes.
