Product Description
The Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' is one of the hardiest yuccas there is. This tough green friend has broad, slightly curved leaves in blue-green. Those leaves instantly remind you of a sunny beach down south. This Lone Star of 70 cm is compact, so it also fits nicely in a large pot. A great pick from our collection of yuccas and palm lilies.
It combines an exotic look with a hefty dose of toughness. It does not need complicated care, so you can enjoy it all year round. It looks good by the front door or on a sunny balcony. It also feels at home in the border among other outdoor plants. For more volume and a wider crown, also take a look at the Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' of 90 cm.
Care and tips for the Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' garden plant - 70 cm
This yucca is incredibly easy. Plant it in well-draining soil or potting compost with some sand or gravel, and remove a dried-out leaf at the bottom now and then. If it is in a pot, choose one with a drainage hole and put a drainage layer of gravel at the bottom. Among our outdoor pots and baskets you will find sturdy pots that can stay outside all year round.
It does not need much feeding: give it some Pokon Garden Fertiliser now and then in spring and summer and it will stay healthy and keep growing steadily. Pruning is not necessary. Because the 'Lone Star' is so hardy, it can simply stay outdoors in winter too. Just make sure no water is left standing in the pot; a few pot feet underneath already help. It needs nothing more to stay beautiful for years.
Water needs of the Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' garden plant - 70 cm
As a true lover of dry conditions, the 'Lone Star' needs little water. In summer, water once or twice a week when the soil feels dry, and in winter hardly at all. Feel the soil with your finger first before you reach for the watering can. Make sure there is good drainage so no water is left standing.
Light needs of the Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' garden plant - 70 cm
Place it in a sunny to partially shaded spot. The more sun, the more compact and full the plant stays. A south- or west-facing patio or balcony is therefore a great choice.
Is the Yucca Gloriosa 'Lone Star' garden plant - 70 cm toxic?
The Yucca Gloriosa is mildly toxic if ingested. Keep it out of reach of nibbling pets and young children. Also watch out for the pointed leaves when caring for it; wearing gloves makes the job more comfortable.
