Banana Yucca – Yucca baccata 15 Seeds | Hardy Evergreen | Edible & Showy Drought Tolerant | Desert Native | Architectural Landscape Plant

Add bold desert beauty to your landscape with these 15 Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) seeds. This hardy evergreen shrub is prized for its dramatic sword-shaped foliage, tall showy flower stalks, and large edible fruits.

Banana Yucca is a slow-growing evergreen shrub or small tree native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. It typically matures to 4–6 feet tall, beginning as a dense basal clump of blue-green, sharply pointed leaves 12–40 inches long. Distinctive white fibers curl from the leaf margins, giving the plant added texture and character. Over time, a short trunk develops, lifting the foliage above ground level.

In late spring to early summer, thick clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers—often tinged with purple—rise on tall stalks. These are followed by large, fleshy, banana-like edible fruits measuring 4–9 inches long. Extremely tolerant of heat, drought, wind, salt, and poor soils, Banana Yucca is perfect for xeriscapes, dry slopes, and low-maintenance gardens.
