About the Product

Dragon Slayer is a tough, compact yucca that forms a round rosette of rigid, powdery blue leaves. It thrives in hot, dry places with almost no care and keeps its shape and color all year.

As plants mature, tall branched stalks about 4 feet high carry creamy white flowers in early summer. Deer and rabbits leave it alone, and it is a natural fit for rock gardens, dry slopes and large patio containers.

What it looks like

Stiff, narrow, sword-shaped leaves with sharp tips radiate evenly from a central crown to form a near-perfect round rosette. The foliage is a chalky powder blue with a slightly waxy finish. The rosette is about 24 inches tall and 30 to 36 inches wide. At maturity a stout, branched stalk about 4 feet tall rises from the center, lined with many nodding, bell-shaped creamy white flowers. At peak bloom the tall white candelabra of flowers stands above the symmetrical blue ball of leaves.

Growing it with lavender

Dragon Slayer wants the same full sun and dry, lean soil as lavender, and its powder-blue rosette pairs naturally with lavender's gray-green foliage and purple spikes.

Care

Plant in full sun for the best form and color, in well-drained soil of any quality; it is very drought tolerant once rooted. Hardy in zones 5 to 10. Cut spent flower stalks at the base and remove any old lower leaves in spring.

Hardy in zones 5a–10b

Spring through early summer so roots establish before winter.

When it arrives

Your plug tray

Pot 72-cell plugs into 4-inch pots of gritty mix and grow in full sun until rooted, or plant directly into well-drained soil. Don't keep them wet.

When to plant

Spring through early summer so roots establish before winter.

How deep

Plant with the base of the rosette at soil level; don't bury the leaves.

Spacing

2–3 feet apart; plants spread by offsets.

Soil

Sandy, gravelly or rocky; poor soil is fine · pH 6.0–8.0

Fix-it tip: Add grit or plant on a mound in clay. Avoid irrigated, rich beds.

Sun

Full sun (tolerates part sun).

Variegated types keep stronger color in sun; shade makes plants floppy and bloom less.

Dormant
New growth

Don’t give up on it

Is it alive? What spring looks like

Evergreen; the rosette stays visible all winter. Lower leaves may brown after winter; new growth comes from the center in spring. Flower stalks appear in early summer on mature plants.
