Where did I get the plant from:
I did get the first cutting in 2000, from a friend P.C.O. Nørgaard, and when he passed away in 2003, I inherited his Yucca collection, including a large plant of this form (the plant on the photo above).

Short description:
Plant: caulescent Leaves: light green with a pale yellow edge, they have a short somewhat sharp spine at the tip of the leaves,. Inflorescence: Like normal green Yucca recurvifolia Flowers:  Like normal green Yucca recurvifolia.

Where do I grow the plant:
The first plant were planted in the spring 2008, in a well drained bed up against a south facing wall. The rest of my plants including the large "mother" are grown in pots which is in the unheated greenhouse during the winter.

Hardiness:
Unknown at the time of writing fall 2009. I easy get Yucca leaf fungus in beginning of the spring, but if grown close to a house this gives it some protection to the fungus attack.

Notes:
When grown in pots you need to water daily, as the plant quickly dry out the soil.

Hybrids which have genes from Yucca recurvifolia "marginata":
None.
