| Description | Ficus pumila Minima
The 'Mini' Climbing Ficus is a fast growing, evergreen, hardy traditional climber with a much smaller leaf than its larger leaved relative. Cover up a fence or wall with this self-supporting climber for a lush green formal or informal effect in the garden.
Ficus Minima will tolerate shade and is a good solution for walls or fences that don't get much sun. As this is a hardy grower, once it's established it will need the odd prune to keep it off windows etc.
8"/20cm pot size. | 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. | |
| 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.
If you're doing up a garden or decorating a patio or deck with pot plants, get a Yucca Sculpture for an instant established look.
