PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Yucca gloriosa, commonly called Spanish bayonet or Yucca, is a wonderful plant for that sub-tropical effect. An evergreen shrub (though it looks more like a perennial than a shrub) that is native to beaches, sand dunes and fields from South Carolina south to Florida, Mississippi and Mexico. Yucca gloriosa Citrus Twist is a recent introduction. A tough plant that has striking, sword shaped foliage, lime to grey green in the centre with wide, golden yellow outer edges. On mature plants the upright flower spikes are held well above the foliage and can rise up to 1.4 meters - a spectacular sight in the late summer or even through to winter. Yucca gloriosa Citrus Twist will flourish in full sun in most well drained soil. It will not tolerate waterlogged soil. Very drought resistant. This plant can be used in a mixed planting but to my mind is best as a stand alone specimen in the garden or a container. If planting in a pot or other container. Use a good quality, John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade and become too packed and choke the roots. Add a minimum of 20% horticultural grit by volume, to aid drainage. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost. Provided the location is well drained these plants have no problem with frosts as low as -15C. The image of the plant in the wooden photo booth is from the current batch

Hortus Planta was bought to you in 2022. We operate from our nursery in West Sussex where all our plants are grown and from where everything we sell is dispatched. We are a small team. Our horticultural director has an impressive knowledge of plants gained over forty plus years of experience in propagation, production and customer service. Our team has 15 years of experience in online selling. We aim to use this combined expertise to bring you a desirable and interesting offer of quality plants and related products, with new items added annually.

We accept payment by PayPal and Credit / Debit cards entered on eBay only. You must be registered with PayPal or eBay to buy from us.

We ship via Royal Mail tracked 48 for our smaller items and Parcelforce Express 48 for our larger orders.

All items must be returned in the same condition it was received. Returns are processed within 1-2 business days upon return delivery date. Refunds are less the cost of the originally purchased shipping.

Please remember when purchasing from us that we are not a garden centre. In general garden centres sell a range of seasonal plants, that are sold for a limited period of time, when they look at their best. We are a nursery and offer you plants as near to an all year-round basis as possible. This means that at different times of year plants will not look at their best. In winter some may just be a pot of roots, in summer many will have been pruned and in autumn deciduous plants will have leaves that are dying and this will often mean they are mis-coloured and diseased, both natural ingredients of the process of decay and eventually renewal. All our plants have a one year, no quibble guarantee, from the date of order, so in the very unlikely event your poorly looking plant bought in autumn or winter (or in the case of some varieties, in summer) does not flourish in its main growing season, you are protected!
