Description

Yucca ‘Dragon Slayer’ is a striking evergreen perennial developed by Walters Gardens blending the hardiness and form of Yucca filamentosa / pallida–type species into a compact, architectural specimen. Its powdery-blue, rigid, swordlike leaves form a near-perfect rounded rosette with sparse fine marginal filaments, giving it a sculptural, modern presence in the garden. In early summer, it sends up proportionate upright panicles of creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers that contrast elegantly with its foliage. This cultivar was patented (U.S. Plant Patent PP 36,889) in 2025 and marketed under the Proven Winners brand, and is prized for its deer and rabbit resistance, strong drought tolerance, and ease in low-maintenance landscapes.

Powdery blue, rigid swordlike leaves forming a geometric, rounded mound with minimal marginal filaments
Relatively compact habit compared to many yuccas, with scapes (flower stalks) proportionate in height and heavily branched panicles of creamy-white blooms
Excellent deer and rabbit resistance plus strong drought and heat tolerance once established
