If you take the new shoots off Mags and pot them up, you will get what they call a bayonet Yucca...spineless...

Re: Flowering Yukka


Would the 'spineless' one then survive in the garden Moli?

Sorry Emma....I seem to have hijacked your thread!

Where you live Mags, your house Yucca would be quite happy in the garden for the summer months, but would not survive the frost, a garden Yucca is hardy, a houseplant one isn't...

Re: Flowering Yukka


Lovely shot, Emma! I'm surprised to see yuccas growing outdoors in the UK...they are native to our southwestern states. I'm beginning to think that I am misinformed about how cold it gets there in the Winter...didn't think a desert plant would survive! The interesting things I've learned on CP!! They are as tough as an old boot: yucca is a plant I don't particularily like; when I bought my house there was one in the garden which I promptly dug up...it came back from a root I must have missed...dug it up again...it came back...took 3 years to eradicate

Re: Flowering Yukka


DM - funny you should say that!! The ones (variegated) I mentioned earlier in the thread have also re-appeared in the front garden from where I had originally transferred them. I've just given up now and let them grow as they're obviously happy there!

Wish they would grow like that up here, mine is still quite small and I have had it for years!
