Yucca gloriosa ‘Variegata’
As Yucca gloriosa but with yellow and green striped leaves. Very frost hardy but much less bulky. Could reach 4ft tall by 3ft across, less likely to form a ‘thicket’.

Yucca rostrata
Masses of very thin, straight leaves. After many years forming a trunk with a head of leaves some 4ft across. One of the best but always in short supply.

Yucca aloifolia
Pretty seems an odd word to describe the most viciously spiky plant on the nursery but it is. Beautifully organised horizontal spiky leaves on a 6ft trunk. Avoid strong winds. Please contact us for stock availability and sizes.

Yucca recurva
Another classic Victorian favourite. Trunk forming, but with graceful recurved (bending) leaves. Huge white flower spikes, as with all the Yuccas. To 5ft x 3ft across. Please contact us for other stock availability and sizes.

Beschorneria yuccoides
Spiky looking but soft tulip-like leaves all the way from the mountains of Mexico. Remarkable and dramatic red eruptions (flowers) in spring. For reasonably mild gardens.

Canna altensteinii
A huge, luxuriant tender perennial up to 3m (9ft) with bright green foliage and vibrant orange flowers in summer. Exotica for the summer garden. They’re surprisingly good in breezy places – particularly roundabouts in Normandy. A fine site.
For best results, plant cannas in a warm, sunny position in rich, moist soil. Dig up in the autumn and store roots in dry peat in frost-free conditions over winter, in colder areas.
