Curlyleaf Yucca is a perennial broadleaf, clumping evergreen shrub native to the Southeastern US. It grows 3- to 8-ft. tall and 3- to 5-ft. wide. A 5- to 6-ft. tall panicle of showy, long-lasting, waxy, creamy-white, bell -shaped flowers appears in late spring to early summer. Hummingbirds, moths, small mammals, and songbirds are attracted to the plant, but it is pollinated by specialized moths called yucca moths.
