The Spanish bayonet of the American coast
Native to the sandy coasts of the southeastern United States, Yucca Gloriosa raises its rosettes armed with rigid leaves, nicknamed 'Spanish bayonets'.
In summer it sends up a spectacular flower spike loaded with large cream bells, resists salt, drought, and cold, and structures dry and coastal gardens.
"The Yucca Gloriosa raises a torch of bells at the height of summer."
