| Description | Yucca elephantipes 'Spineless Yucca/Stick Yucca'
Yuccas would have to be one of the most versatile plants available. They will successfully grow in full sun, part shade, full shade or indoors. Grown for their bold and handsome shape, they feature tall woody stems ending in a crown of long sword shaped leaves. | Cercis canadensis
Cercis canadensis ‘Eastern Redbud’ originating from Eastern North America, is a large deciduous shrub or medium sized tree that makes a wonderful feature, shade tree or mass planted along driveways and avenue’s. In late spring before the foliage re-appears, the branches are covered with bright pink flowers. The leaves are large, glossy and heart shaped. The Eastern Redbud is frost hardy, and can grow in sandy and clay soils, providing they are well drained. It is able to reach a mature height of 9m if unclipped.

| Rosa floribunda
Friesia Rose is an upright growing, compact bush with large amounts of double flowers with a strong fragrance and showy bright yellow colour. Available in many different variations. |
| Content | Yuccas prefer dryer conditions with good drainage, but will still grow in most places; they will tolerate very hot periods without water or near freezing conditions. If grown in the full sun, the foliage becomes stiffer and bolder looking, giving it the trendy and fashionable Mediterranean look. If grown in shade or indoors they will develop a softer and longer leaf.
Yuccas can be planted in pots or in the garden, be grown indoors or outdoors and be planted in sun or shade. They look exotic and tropical and have a modern style. Yuccas perform a range of landscape functions. Plant as a centerpiece in a courtyard, as a feature plant in a pot or as a low maintenance stylish screen. Use as a hardy indoor feature either fully indoors, under plastic roofing or in undercover outdoors areas.
