Flowering Yucca

EmmaG · 12-07-2006, 09:32 PM

These three have flowered every single year they have been planted (about 5 years)

so's mine I the Doubt if it will ever flower either, yours looks great. Well done.

A lot of people who seem them are very surprised as I don't think they flower very easily.

Mine seem to go mad though, not quite sure if they will next year when I move them to borders going down the garden.

Wow! I have never seen flowers on a yukka. Very well done Emma

I had some in the front garden that flowered from quite small plants (very dry, sunny situation). However I then moved them to a less sunny spot. One died quite quickly and the other is not too much of a happy bunny albeit surviving but not flowering. Just give them loads of TLC when you DO move them to make sure they survive.

They are fantastic Emma, there used to be an old wives tale, that they only flowered every 7 years! I have one in the garden, but it was in a pot, put it in the ground this year, hoping for flowers next year, do you feed them??

Moli they don't get ANY feed or water from me, I just leave them to their own devices. Also the soil that they are in isn't very deep and it is very dry there. It really is a tiny border as it is the back of my kitchen.

Will the indoor ones grow outside or is it a different variety?
