    Looks like a variety of yucca?

    Further research leads me to think it's an Agave attenuata or similar

    I think you were right with the Yucca Tanya! I think it's Yucca guatemalensis (syn Yucca elephantipes) or Giant Yucca. Whatever it is it's very hardy and easy to grow.

    ETA: Nope, now I'm with you on the Agave attenuata!

    We're not sure what to do with it. It's in the middle of where we want to put a few things. It is such a gorgeous plant though.

    Thanks so much girls for your help!

    They are great in pots So if you don't want to dispose of it, throw it in a pot
