Hardy Yucca, Adams Needle Seeds- Yucca&Lily in one
Yucca Filamentosa- 5 Fresh Seeds
Adam's needle looks a little like a small palm, but is actually more closely related to the lilies. It features a basal rosette of rigid, sword-shaped, spine-tipped green leaves to 30 inches long and to 4 inches wide. The margins of the leaves are decorated with long curly threads or "filaments" that peel back as the leaf grows; eventually dropping off on older leaves. Leaves form a foliage clump to 2-3' tall. In late spring, a flowering stalk rises from the center of each rosette, typically 5 to 8 feet tall, but infrequently to 12' tall, (taller in warm climates, shorter where winters are cold) bearing a long terminal panicles of nodding 2 inch bell-shaped creamy white flowers. Fruits are elliptical dehiscent capsules. The plant dies after flowering and fruiting, but produces lateral buds that start new plants around the edges of the original plant. The flowers of many yucca species are edible and used raw in salads or cooked. Those from Adam's needle are said to taste like Belgian endive.
