Yucca aloifolia 'Marginata' is characterized by its sword-shaped leaves that have a striking variegated pattern of green with creamy-yellow margins.
The leaves are stiff and sharp, giving the plant a distinctive architectural appearance.
It typically grows in a rosette form, with the leaves radiating from a central point, and can reach heights of up to 3 meters with a spread of about 1.5 meters.
The bold, sword-like foliage with its attractive variegation adds visual interest to garden landscapes, providing a focal point or accentuating other plants.
It is well-suited to xeriscaping or dry gardens as it is highly drought-tolerant once established, requiring little supplemental watering.
