Yucca elephantipes

A bold, architectural plant with a distinctly exotic appearance, forms a thick, trunked base topped by a rosette of strap-like, pointed green leaves. Its clean, structural form makes it an excellent choice for modern landscaping or as a striking indoor specimen in a bright space.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and is well-suited to pots, patios or dry garden beds. Outdoors, it makes a dramatic feature in coastal or drought-tolerant plantings. Indoors, place in a well-lit position for best performance.

Feed with a slow-release fertiliser during spring to promote lush green foliage and healthy growth. Evergreen and hardy, it tolerates dry conditions once established but should be protected from heavy frost in colder regions.
