Yucca Filifera, also known as St. Peter’s Palm, is a bold and architectural choice for UK gardens, perfect for adding a touch of the exotic. Its dramatic, sword-like foliage and potential for forming a trunk make it a standout feature in gardens.
Yucca Filifera thrives best in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s tolerant of chalk, loam, or sandy soils and can handle pH levels from acidic to alkaline. It’s a suitable choice for coastal, Mediterranean-style, or architectural gardens. While hardy, providing protection during severe frosts is recommended if the plant is young or potted.
This Yucca – a fantastic option for those seeking a low-maintenance yet striking plant that exudes tropical charm while fitting seamlessly into UK gardens.
