Angela S on May 18, 2012That's a Yucca Plant, I believe - the stalks should have little white flowers in the spring if it is. It grows from tubers and can be divided and replanted if you like it - but most of the year it will look pretty much like it does now. They are very hardy once established, so if you wanted to trim the dead leaves and stalks off of this one to tidy it up, it would be fine. If I recall, the native Americans used the roots of these to make soap, so if your really enthused, you could do that - lol.Helpful Reply

Chloe W on May 18, 2012Yes, it's a yucca. Sometimes there are stalks that grow up from the plant to a couple of feet above it. These produce clusters of white bell-like big flowers. You might cut out the twiggy thing growing around it. Nothing can harm this plant, it's very sturdy. Mine blooms every other year.Helpful Reply

Cheryl E on May 18, 2012Yucca or Adam's Needle, a hardy plant usually classified as a shrub. Not a monster - sends up lovely tall stems with ivory flowers. Once a given plant flowers, it usually dies but sends out "pup" like a bromeliad. Pull out spent foliage every year and remove the "stumps" of dead mother plants. It will spread but is not invasive here in southeastern Michigan.Helpful Reply

Rhonda G on May 18, 2012I have a yucca, and it's pretty tame and sends up a long shoot of beautiful creamy white flowers aka Adam's Needle, Needle Palm, or Spanish Bayone. The fronds do bend. Mine is grown in the NorthEast and does quite well for what you would consider a desert plant, but they thrive to USDA zone 5. I've used these in many of my designs. We had varigated ones too. They are a perennial plant usually grown to 2 -3 ' tall. They are not invasive. There are other species of the plant related to this one.Helpful Reply

Rhonda G on May 19, 2012If it was an Iris; you should be able to see the Iris's tubers that are 'saddled' just above the soil line.

Yucca will not have those tubers, but thick,slightly darker and slightly smoother roots growing downward..Helpful Reply

Alethea S on May 19, 2012Not an iris of any kind. When iris rhizomes spread, they form a circle and the center will be 'nekkid'. This is a Yucca (Spanish Sword, etc.) and can be divided to plant elsewhere. If planted along the back of your garage (hedge-like) it can be a lovely backdrop for other plants and flowers. The spiked foliage can be a nice place to showcase other colors and styles of plants and flowers. Use it to your advantage!Helpful Reply

Eileen M on May 25, 2012I don't know the real name of the plant at this time but this has peaked my curiosity to find out. Around our area here in northeast point of TN, it is called "The Devil's Shoestring". I think this name comes from the string-like tendrils that are among the leaf parts of the plant and the fact that it thrives in hot summer, never goes away and is for the most part, untouchable. The flower spike is pretty when it is blooming but other wise is just a curiosity that never dies and puts out a nice cluster of flowers on the stalk once a year in summer.Helpful Reply

BS on Jun 08, 2015I think this could be agapanthus. The way to tell if it is a yucca is by the texture of the leaves, not whether or not the ends are sharp. Not all yuccas have sharp points, but all yuccas do have extremely tough, fibrous leaves. If your mystery plant has soft, tender leaves sort of like a daylilly, it could be agapanthus. I wouldn't be in a hurry to do anything with it. Give it a growing season and see what it does. Even if it is a yucca, it won't take over your yard in one summer. I have never personally seen a yucca do that anyway. Maybe that's what happens if they get 40+ inches of rain a year. If it is agapanthus, it will bloom purple. It's pretty attractive. During the dormant period (basically winter), you could transplant it to someplace where you could enjoy it more.Helpful Reply

Joyce Hochsprung on Jun 08, 2015From the pic I would say yucca, as someone else mentioned,, if the leaves are very fibrous probably a yucca. I spent years trying to kill mine off.
