About the invasive yuccas, back when I bought this house I was thrilled because the way the driveway and sidewalks are poured I have 6 separate spaces enclosed by 3 to 8 ft of concrete. Back when it was my home I had all my invasive herbs planted and thriving in these spots.
Now that I moved back to my home area amd married, our home has those yuccas growing in pathways we’ve made into some natural areas. For the past few years I’ve been digging them up and potting them then selling in yard sales. Depending on size I’m asking $5 -10 for them and people snap them up. I did not know they would tolerate the colder zones tho. Due to the invasive nature I would pass on adding them to anything not well enclosed no matter how homesick. I’d probably have to carry a prickly pear cactus to remind me of home even if it had to over-winter in a geenhouse tho.

Mom’s lives outside in Zone 4b and comes back every year. It’s gorgeous when it blooms...but I’m not taking any for my yard...and I’m ALSO not digging it out for her. That requires a paid professional! :)
