Yucca pallida (Pale yucca)

Synonyms: Yucca pallida var. edentata; Yucca rupicola; Yucca rupicola var. edentata

Wikipedia Abstract

Yucca pallida, sometimes called Pale yucca, is a species of yucca native to Northern Mexico and parts of the blackland prairies of northern and central Texas, and notable for its light-colored leaves that range from a pale blue-gray to sage-green in color. Yucca pallida is known to hybridize with Yucca rupicola Scheele, which has a similar appearance, but whose leaves are more twisted and curved. Although not common in horticulture, its color, size, and moderate hardiness (down to −18 °C or 0 °F) make it a good gardening alternative to other species of yuccas.
