Soapweed Yucca's drought resistance surpasses expectations, boasting a 20-foot deep taproot and extensive lateral roots, ensuring survival in xeric conditions. It's a beacon for beneficial insects, offering nesting structures for native bees. Perfect for sustainable landscaping, this deer-resistant shrub invites both ecological harmony and captivating elegance to any garden.
