true cold-hardiness of Yucca Elephantipes? - PalmTalk

It can easily grow 15-20 ft tall. The leaves are long, 1-2ft and are dark green and glossy. It is more tender, they show damage below 25-26F and below about 20-22F will freeze them back.

2021年3月7日 · The absolute best recommendation I can give you for a 'tropical feel' plant, however, is one you can just grab at the local Lowes. Yucca recurvifolia (blue weeping yucca, or something) is an absolute stunner with its broad and weeping leaves. Has been bulletproof for me (didn't protect during this freeze and never even watered).

2024年9月15日 · Thanks! You've been so helpful. These ones are a bit on the "grassy" side for my taste, but I love the idea of adding a mid-height purple filler plant to my yard. Any recommendations for an alternative? Ideal would be a dark purple or near-black mid to tall-height plant that would add a nice color contrast between my green plants.
