Yucca Species, Dwarf Yucca, Harriman's Yucca, Spanish Bayonet

Per Jan Emming of Destination:Forever Ranch and Gardens, a 40 acre desert botanical garden/sustainable living homestead in Arizona:
...Read More "Yucca nana is a beautiful, dwarf yucca that grows in eastern Utah and western Colorado on the sandstone substrates and in pinon-juniper forests of the Colorado Plateau. Mature rosettes are not more than around a foot in diameter (30 cm) and many are smaller than that. The common name is dwarf yucca, or doll-house yucca. Often single but also forming small clumps, Yucca nana is one of the loveliest of the yucca clan and it's surely among the smallest. (The specific epithet means "small" or "miniature".) There is some dispute about whether this plant can be justified to be a separate species, or whether it's a subspecies of the slightly larger Yucca harrimaniae. Either way, there's no doubt that this compact and cold-tolerant plant would be a wonderful addition to various rock gardens and succulent collections for enthusiasts. Plus the filamentous leaves are extra decorative in pots or confined spaces!"

I am an organic gardener so I pull weeds manually and this is just sheer painful joy to weed around lol . The flowers seem out of scale with the plants also . The flowers look like a full size yucca but the plant itself is only around 10 or twelve inches high . Does not bloom every year but when it does wow !

I just bought a house from an amazing gardener in her 80's. She planted 6 Yucca harrimaniae on the property as small plants. They are n...Read Moreow HUGE- about 2 1/2 feet tall spikes and I'm told the flowers will stand taller. I dug one up to give to a friend to find it was 4 seperate plants with an extensive bulbous root system. I now nothing about these plants. I do know they thrive here in northern Ohio and that is amazing. All I read is that it is a midwestern plant. I have been told they are valuable, which is why I dug one up to give to a friend. I plan on putting several rock gardens in the yard, so I will transplant some to those. Question: How do I move these without damaging the bulbs? It seems, as big as these are, I couldnt dig far enough from the plant without cutting a bulb. Thanks for the info, in advance.
