Cordylines fail here in New Mexico, gets to cold, Yucca Faxon, Baccata and Hespera hold up very well😊
Great! The Faxon, Bacatta and Elata are Native to the Region and can handle the wild Temp swings we experience in the winter...😊

Thanks very much for commenting. I will check those yuccas out you have mentioned. I have several different types of yuccas growing. I'm always on the search for more hardy plants thankyou 👍
My variegated yucca has got all brown leaves ,what is causing it, and what Can I do.
Hi Sandra is the yucca been to wet, not enough drainage in the soil. Best thing is at the moment try and keep it as dry as possible and see if there I'd new growth.
Would cactus mix be good for yucca rostrata? Or can you recommend a different mix?
Your plants are beautiful btw.
Hi John thank you. As far as I am aware they just need good drainage, so all I am going to do because for the first few years they will be grownnin pots, is a simple half perlite and compost mix. But eventually when then go into the ground I will be digging around the area and adding plenty of grit but making sure it doesn't act as a well otherwise they will just be sat in water.
i grew mine out in cactus mix when they were smaller and potted
The Hespera is from the northern Mexico southern Texas, very durable plant ,haven't had any issues, very prolific off shoot production...
Thanks again. The yuccas I'm currently growing managed with no issues this winter. Now they are in the ground they should be me hardier once they have rooted
@@mattsuktropicalgarden The Yucca Bacatta is my favorite, stunning blooms, it's a heavy weight non- trunking ground dweller can get 4 to 5 feet across and tall when in a happy spot...
Wow can't believe how expensive they are here, they do look stunning
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Indeed! A Yucca Faxon here in a 20 gallon pot is 169.00. The others 49.00 5 gallon, 29.00 2 gallon.
There's a small nursery here w/limited selection 1 gallon @ 20.00...Have you tried propagation from seed?
Now that's a good idea. Might try a little propagator once I've got my garden sorted out. Brilliant 👏
Yucca are way better than cordylines for our climat (i'm from belgium), the only "downside" is they are all green. Have you tried Phornium too? They are a good subtitutes for cordylines if you want some red or pink color.
Do you grow them in pots or in the ground, any special treatment at all. Plus I did have 2 phormiums at the back, they have completely collapsed see if they grow back in spring, again any special phormium you grow?
@@mattsuktropicalgarden in the ground, always, i'm not a pot fan. Mine Phornium is a rainbow queen or a pink stripe (they looks almost the same). Right now he is looking alive, and we had -10 a few days. I protected it with a winter veil. And I got a yucca filamentosa color guard, no protection needed, just a well drained ground.
Great cheers Dim I will check out the rainbow queen if mine don't come through, will get my yuccas in the ground in a few years once I've got me garden sorted the way I want it ish, I'm never happy
back to twig farming (growing deciduous exotics like big leaf magnolias and catalpa) and yuccas
Yuccas dont really suit my garden I cant find anywhere to put them, will be interesting to see how you can integrate them into your tiki style jungle garden
thanks Matt!
They take a while to get growing, round my patio area I'm gona try and make it more evergreen plants, so when it's rubbish weather like now there is always something interesting to look at.
being growing exotics since the 1980's and after a freeze people go back to yuccas and deciduous
Haha so I'm following the trend of the past. I will keep on growing the less hardier plants. Just need a staple background on my garden
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Yes its happened at least three times before you younger pups have started. You've still got Trachy and phormium but then it gets a bit like everbodys garden is the same. I'm afraid I still grow a lot of tender stuff so I have an autumn of low-down grunt dragging big pots so they're all snuggled down in the house and sheds with frost heaters.
Hi yes I still drag certain stuff around into a heated garage with lights inside. Do you have an Instagram account?
@@mattsuktropicalgarden No I havent, insta what?, I dont do facebook, though I know I'm probably missing out on rare plant groups. Old git syndrome. Is instagram like a photo sharing sort of thing ?
I don't do Facebook either. Yeah insta is just where people put plants and stuff on, what can be grown in other regions. I do follow alot of people I'm Canada and am amazed what they can achieve
Yucca’s are better for cold/dry/and hot country’s but the Cordyline and Yucca but do good in my garden ....i dont have a problem with none ....they grow like weed in my garden ...super super strong plants ...yucca nr 1
Hopefully my cordylines will come back. I love yucca plants can't wait for them to get growing
5:47 - looks like Yucca filamentosa to me, similar hardiness to Gloriosa but wont trunk, stays low and just expands over time.
Thanks Michael I will keep an eye on that one, even if it doesn't trunk it will make a good evergreen low lying plant, thanks for your comment 👍
Surprisingly my yuccas have done very well this winter even though some of my oalms have spear pulled.
This winter has been terrible losing so many plants, which yuccas are you growing and how old are they?
@@mattsuktropicalgarden hi Matt i have several Gloriosa ,filifera and rostratas etc, i cant recall all their names,only one who gets black spots on leaves in spring is Yucca Gloriosa
My gloriosa are fine with spotting on them, the citrus twist have had spotting on but that yucca is very slow growing. 🐌 pace really 👍
The yucca's have the flowers too
Extra bonus, so once they flower do the split and grow multi headed.
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Hi Matt. I don't know. I asked the wife and she doesn't think so. I think, just a guess now if they're cut back or damaged they can throw multi stems. I think cordyline are like that as well.
Got a filifera and rostrata from Blue Nurseries too.
I was told the filifera needs really good drainage and you can probably get away with less drainage on the rostratas, Glorious and filementosa
I would only assume the reason I'd because it is less hardy so can't freeze through if more drainage, helps with wet conditions. When I pot mine up they will all be the same with good drainage and with abit of sand and perlite.
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Yeah will be less hardy, gonna have to dig a few bags of grit in
Yeah will be less hardy, I will buy some grit as well. But if it gets cold freezing for a prolonged period i will throw them in the garage just while they get established
My 2 red cordylines, have had it, the one has spear pulled today, i think ill give the Yuccas a look at too, Thanks for the video!
Give you cordylines a chance they could re-shoot and grow, they are only a couple of quid to replace. Yeah give the yuccas a try slow growing compared to cordylines, but my aim is to grow a garden over 20 years 😀
@@mattsuktropicalgarden Sounds good, ill have to have a look at the sites you brought from, cheers for the advice!
Your welcome give the site a look I think they are a fair price
@@mattsuktropicalgarden I shall have a look, cheers!
All the yuccas you've bought do really well up here at 55°N Matt. Rostratas do great. Yucca gloriosa variagata have never shown any winter damage in 5 years here. I have a large filifera australis which again has had no issues with the winter. If I remember rightly you've got a couple of small Spanish Bayonet yuccas. These will show some frost damage on their leaves more easily than the other yuccas you have particularly given the size you have. This winter though despite it being the coldest for years they've done well here with no winter damage. In previous milder years when they were smaller however they had some fair damage after the winter that had to be cut off. Good luck with yours
Thanks Vincenze I will have all of these potted up with good drainage for the first couple of years overwinter in garage if necessary, and once they develop will plant out, by then if I don't change my mind 🙄. Just want them to be a strong plant all year round interest, plus spike people when they come round lol 😉
