Grow your own Adam’s Needle (Yucca filamentosa) — a bold, architectural evergreen prized for its dramatic sword-shaped foliage and towering creamy white flower spikes.

This slow-growing, virtually stemless shrub forms a dense basal rosette of rigid, spine-tipped green leaves up to 30 inches long. Distinctive curly white filaments along the leaf margins give the plant its unique ornamental texture and visual appeal year-round.

In late spring to early summer, mature plants send up impressive flower stalks 5–8 feet tall (occasionally taller in warm climates), topped with nodding, bell-shaped creamy white blooms. When planted in groups, they resemble glowing white candles across the landscape — earning the nickname “Our Lord’s Candles.”

Exceptionally tough and adaptable, Adam’s Needle thrives in:

• Cold climates (Zone 5 hardy)
• Extreme heat and prolonged drought
• Sandy and poor soils
• Coastal salt exposure
• Wind and urban conditions

Perfect for xeriscaping, erosion control, rock gardens, dry slopes, borders, foundation plantings, and large-scale landscape projects. The blooms attract butterflies, and the plant provides wildlife habitat.

This 1600-seed bulk pack is ideal for nursery production, landscape contractors, restoration projects, and wholesale growers.
