Bright Star is a splendid new Yucca selection with broad leaves and bright gold bands along each side. It makes a tight rosette that is instantly eye-catching, brighter than other varieties and with a greater proportion of the leaf coloured gold than in competitor varieties.

Yucca Bright Star makes an excellent container specimen or can be used to great effect in the border. It also has landscape uses where irrigation is infrequent or impossible.

Yucca Bright Star has year-round appeal, looking attractive at all times. It should be finished in 2 or 3 litre containers, as well as forming excellent larger specimens.
