Dasylirion & Yucca are often used in cold temperate gardens to create desert or tropical effects. Some are low shrubs with compact rosettes and some are giant palm-like trees. Blooming is always spectacular. They are ideal plants for sunny rockeries or areas where sandy soils exist. They look fine with Cacti and Palms. The genus Dasylirion has 19 species, native to dry areas of Mexico and the USA. They are slow and very resistant to frost and drought. Many grow as stemless rosettes with sharply toothed leaves. Some species can grow upright stems and branches, forming large trees with age. The genus Yucca comprises 40-50 species of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Agavaceae. Yuccas are native to the hot and dry parts of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Northern American species are very resistant to cold and frost, especially if kept dry and drained. Flowers are white and often spectacular. Many yuccas also bear edible parts, including fruits and flowers
