All Yuccas attract Yucca Moths. Both are necessary for each others survival. Yuccas will not produce seed with out the moths and the moths only reproduce on Yucca.

@UrbanWild I'm not sure if different species of moth are attracted to certain Yucca or not, but I would suggest that you research what species of Yucca grow in your area and plant those. Since the species of Yucca native to your area are already attracting the moths in you area then they would be the best choice.
