Adams Needle, Yucca filamentosa, Shrub Seeds (Showy Hardy Evergreen)

Description: Adams Needle, Yucca filamentosa, Shrub Seeds Hardy, Adaptable, Easy to Grow, Evergreen, Showy Flowers and Fruits, Attracts Butterflies, Wildlife Food, Cold, Heat, Drought, Salt and Wind Tolerant Adam's needle is a slow growing, virtually stemless broadleaf evergreen shrub that is native to coastal beaches, dunes and sandy woods from Southern U.S. to Mexico. 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. Yucca is a Caribbean name for the cassava plant, which originally was named Yucca gloriosa. In wet years, when many yuccas bloom over the landscape, they resemble large snowy-white candles; hence, the plants may be called by yet another name, "Our Lord's candles." Unlike agaves, with which yuccas are often confused, yuccas bloom each year (more or less), while agaves bloom only once.
