Softleaf Yucca (Yucca recurvifolia)

It's an extremely drought-tolerant plant that tolerates moist soil as well, and partial shade as well as full sun. The trunks are unbranched and can grow to 5' or more. It sends up a 3-5' spike with cream colored flowers in summer. Although its pendulous leaves are soft, the tips are sharp.
