Growing Yucca Cane Plants Outdoors in Coastal South Carolina: Hardiness and Care

Yucca cane (Yucca gigantea) grows well outdoors in Myrtle Beach (Zone 8b). Protect from drying winter winds (water deeply before cold snaps) and rare hard freezes (cover or move pots). Acclimate nursery plants gradually. For easier care, consider agave attenuata, aeoniums, or aloes—equally tropical, more drought-tolerant.
