Outdoor Yucca plant buds not opening #878801

Asked July 25, 2024, 7:03 PM EDT

We purchased the outdoor yucca plant about 8 yrs. ago. It is in full sun and it has good drainage . Currently four long stems and two seed pods. Lots of buds but only a few are opening. What is the problem???

Hi Kathy,

Do you know the specific species? I'm assuming it's one of the hardy yuccas.

Tell me more about how it's being watered. Do you fertilize?
