Yucca is another member of our Southwest collection for its low humidity preference and desert look. We recommend you situate this hardy, dwarf, blue-green "spike" in the top center of a strawberry jars, since many plants don't tolerate the dry soil in that harsh position. Otherwise, there's no better contrast in the rock garden. KAREN

This is not a miniature but it is hardy for us and something we've sought. Eventually, it'll be about a 3 foot, vase shaped shrub with flowers of red centers and purple sepals. The skinny flowers and fruit that follows, is edible. Pop them in your mouth, toss them in a salad. Hard to describe flavor, but it's not bad. KAREN
