About this plant
Yucca filamentosa 'Excalibur' is a superb, evergreen perennial known for its rosette of stiff, sword-like leaves that feature attractive, curling white filaments along their margins. This cultivar is particularly prized for its compact form and impressive flower stalks. In late spring to early summer, towering flower stalks emerge, reaching several feet high and bearing a magnificent display of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers. These blossoms attract pollinators and add an elegant vertical element to any garden design. 'Excalibur' Curlyleaf Yucca is an excellent choice for xeriscaping, rock gardens, borders, or as a focal point in contemporary and drought-tolerant landscapes. Its unique texture and form provide year-round interest.
