Any nurseries that sell yuccas in Chicagoland?

19 years ago

I'm looking for some yuccas that I could purchase from a nursery around Chicago. Anyone know of any?

Thanks

Once in a while, I saw them at Home Depot.

I have seen them at Pesche on Rand Road/DesPlaines River Road, but I have not been there yet this year.

Sids has them, including the newer Color Guard. They have a few locations. Try www.sidsonline.com

I bet Chalet Nursery in Wimette would have some.

3132 Lake Avenue
Wilmette, IL 60091

Phone 847-256-0561
Fax 847-256-4978

In my opinion it's the best in the area, and well worth a travel to visit. (be sure and stop at Chgo Botanic Garden while in the area!) They also have more MG's on staff than any in the area. I love this place!

I haven't seen any this year. Once you plant them, they are hard to get rid of. Try the Exchanges & Trading section. I've had good luck making trades with other gardeners.
