Whoever wrote "Regrettably, it is NOT rabbit resistant" in the Additional Short Notes section, you are absolutely right! My poor plant was devoured by the rabbits.

I like this opinion

We have a large yucca growing in full shade. It looks great and has sent out quite a few rhyzomes. We took 3 children (the rhyzomes were very tough!) and planted them in full sun. Looking forward to blooms next year. So, they will still grow in a shade garden but you will not get the blooms which are pretty spectacular!
