No matter where you live, this yucca is probably cold hardy because it maintains a larger northern geographic distribution than other Yucca species. Soapweed yucca can be found throughout much of the west, from New Mexico and Texas north to the far reaches of Saskatchewan, Canada where it naturally grows in dry plains and sandhills. It was mentioned in the Lewis and Clark journals as being harvested by the Shoshone for soap making, hence the common name "soapweed" yucca. It matures to a modest size and is a very hardy. In fact, it is reported to survive temperatures as low as thirty-five degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) in the northern sand hills and plains.
This yucca forms a nearly stemless, symmetrical rosette of fine-textured, needle-sharp blades. Each rosette produces a tall, unusually narrow flower stalk in summer which bears large, waxy ivory blooms, tinged with rosy pink or green, which are bell-shaped and beautiful. It is pollinated at night by yucca moths, which are lured by the flower’s natural luminescence. The spent flowers turn to brown, capsule-like fruits that burst open to release many flattened seeds.
Asking little more than sun and very well-drained soil, soapweed yucca is a carefree and very rewarding choice for wild and native gardens, western-themed landscapes and as an accent in spare, modern compositions. Its coarse, upright foliage is also highly deer resistant. (source: learn2grow.com)
