Default Yucca tip -hardy?


"Sheila wrote in message
Thanks! I'm afraid they will have to go into containers but at the

moment
they are well and truly pot-bound and grab me by the throat every time I

try
to go upstairs! It will be a great relief to all of us to get them

outside.
Are these true yuccas?


Yes, in the Agave family, from the Americas and from desert type areas too,
quite surprising they survive outside with our cold wet dull winters. They
were always considered tender plants but have proved themselves not to be,
just like some other plants.
