Comments:This yucca makes an excellent ground-covering rosette of foliage because it stays quite low with little or no trunk. New plants form around a mature specimen. Provide full sunlight and well-drained soils for yuccas. Thin, white colored threads are formed along the leaf margins. This yucca does not pose the danger that many of the yuccas because the leaves are soft, although there is a spine at the tip of each leaf.

Mostvariegated plantsare actually mutations!
Chlorophyll is the green pigment needed for photosynthesis. 

variegation
In variegated leaves, the cells that are genetically unable toproduce this pigment appear white; some pigments in the mutated cells can produce pink or yellow. These interesting and attractive plants are prized by most gardeners, and highly cultivated by nurseries. A variegated plant will grow more slowly because of its reduced ability to produce food energy.
