This one's been growing in a big pot on the balcony at least since
2015. It stays outdoors all year round. I've got a picture of it
somewhere with snow on the leaves. Yukkas do fairly well in gardens
here. I think I've even seen one that bloomed.

Had no idea a yucca could withstand weather cold enough to survive
with snow. Next door neighbor has several of them in her yard. Planted
in the ground in our warm climate they get rather large around here.

They're hardier than it seems apparently. We had one on Heybeli island
in Istanbul that lived in the ground in a small, walled garden on a
steep slope that was protected from the winter northeasterlies. It
thrived but did so horizontally rather than vertically. We had to prop
up the branches with stakes.
