The soapweed Yucca is a very cold hardy yucca that is native to central North America, from Canada to the mid-western United States and Mexico. It has long. slender leaves that form a globose rosette and a central, woody stalk. The leaves are blue-green and they have white fibers on the margins. The plants will produce multiple stalks and form large colonies of spiky clusters.
