Great yard! Love the Pheonix!! The Yucca is great......must be one of those rostrata x rigida types since it has 'U' shaped leaves. Let us know if that form is hardy in your area. Rigida is less hardy than rostrata (rigida is more of a zone 8 plant where rostrata is more like a zone 6 plant). I hope yours has the rostrata cold hardy genes!
I kind of questioned this myself it was listed as a rostrata on the tag from monrovia but seems to have a much larger head and much stiffer sharper leaves. I think it is more than likely after looking a pure rigida because monrovia does not list a hybrid that they sell. Guess i might have to through a cover over it this winter a couple nights, it is new this year.
