The most beautiful yucca-palm species for home and garden
Many people think of "Yucca" especially the popular houseplant with the palm-like leaves and the thick trunk. Few people know that the plant family of palm trees (as the yuccas are called) has about 50 different species and 30 subspecies, many of which are kept either in the garden or in the room. The most beautiful yucca species for in- and outdoor, we present you here.
The most beautiful Yucca species in the overview
In this table you will find an overview of the best known and most popular yucca species for home and garden. Many of the listed species can be confidently planted in the garden and wintered there, while others are only suitable for a room culture. However, in the warm summer months, special room yuccas also feel at home in the fresh air - on the balcony or on the terrace, for example.
Yuccas are not among the palm trees
Although the pretty and easy-care plants are often sold under the name "yucca palm", this name is wrong - the various yuccas are not in the family of palms, despite all external similarities. Instead, the popular ornamental plants are related to the no less popular vegetable asparagus - yuccas are among the asparagus plants and in the subfamily of the agave family. Palms are found only in Central America, but grow there in different climates.
Tips
Since yuccas are not part of the palm trees, you can also cut them down carefree. In contrast to palm trees, palm trees are very cut compatible.
