With age the flower color changes to a burgundy-red, and the attractive dried flower heads can last well into the winter months. Sedum is an excellent choice for dry,sunny areas of the yard. It can be planted as a specimen or in masses.
Panicum amarum
Coastal Panicgrass is a clump-forming, warm season, perennial grass that supports wildlife throughout the year.
Yucca gloriosa
Moundlily Yucca, or Spanish Dagger, is an evergreen shrub with a unique form similar to Yucca filamentosa. It features creamy-white, bell-shaped flowers, which bloom on an erect 5- to 8-foot panicle, July-August. The dried fruits persist atop the panicles. The leaves are thick and have sharp, dagger-like tips, hence its common name. Spanish Dagger is a host plant for butterfly and moth larvae (caterpillars), including Cofaqui Giant Skipper (Megathymus cofaqui) and Yucca Giant Skipper (Megathymus yuccae). Its drought- and salt-tolerance make it a good choice for coastal gardens. Plant it as a specimen, in groups, in borders, or for accents around your yard.
