Grow a bold, drought-tolerant native with these 60 Banana Yucca (Yucca baccata) seeds. This striking evergreen shrub is known for its dramatic sword-like foliage, tall flowering stalks, and large edible fruits, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and dry gardens.

Banana Yucca is a slow-growing evergreen shrub or small tree native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. It typically reaches 4–6 feet tall, beginning as a dense clump of blue-green, sharply pointed leaves 12–40 inches long. Distinct curling white fibers along the leaf edges add ornamental texture. As the plant matures, a short trunk forms, lifting the rosette above ground level.

In late spring to early summer, tall stalks rise above the foliage bearing clusters of creamy white, bell-shaped flowers often tinged with purple. These blooms are followed by large, fleshy, banana-like edible fruits measuring 4–9 inches long. Extremely tolerant of heat, cold, drought, salt, wind, and poor soils, Banana Yucca thrives in tough conditions with minimal care.
