Yucca pallida, also known as pale yucca, is a species of yucca native to Northern Mexico and parts of the blackland prairies of northern and central Texas. It is notable for its light-colored leaves that range from pale blue-gray to sage-green in color. The rosettes of Yucca pallida average 20-50 cm tall and 30-80 cm in diameter, with leaves 15-40 cm long and 2-3 cm wide. The leaves have a yellow to brown terminal spine and are generally flat. The inflorescence is a panicle, 1-2.5 m tall, with up to 100 bell-shaped flowers, each 5-7 cm long, with color ranging from light green to cream. Yucca pallida is known to hybridize with Yucca rupicola Scheele, which has a similar appearance. It is not common in horticulture, but its color, size, and moderate hardiness (down to -18 °C or 0 °F) make it a good gardening alternative to other species of yuccas.
