Yucca linearifolia, commonly known as Linear-Leaf Yucca, is an evergreen succulent native to the semi-desert regions of Northeast Mexico. It typically grows to a height of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters) and a width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). This species is characterized by its narrow, linear leaves that form a dense rosette, giving it a distinctive architectural appearance. The Linear-Leaf Yucca produces creamy white, bell-shaped flowers on tall spikes during the spring and summer months, which are particularly attractive to pollinators such as moths.

Linear-Leaf Yucca is valued for its drought tolerance and striking form, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and as a focal point in water-wise landscapes. It requires minimal maintenance once established and is well-suited to full sun or part shade conditions. This yucca thrives in well-drained soils and is highly adaptable to various soil types, provided they are not waterlogged. While generally disease-free, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. It is also worth noting that the sharp leaf tips can be a hazard in pedestrian areas, so placement should be considered carefully.CC BY-SA 4.0
