Yucca gloriosa 'Variegata', also known as the candle palm lily, is a fascinating plant that impresses garden lovers worldwide with its striking appearance and versatility.

Exotic elegance for every garden
Yucca gloriosa 'Variegata' is extremely adaptable and is suitable for growing both outdoors and in pots. This versatility makes it an ideal choice for gardens, patios and even indoor spaces.

These flowers not only attract bees and butterflies, but also provide an additional decorative accent.
How the candle palm lily thrives magnificently
Caring for the candle palm lily requires minimal attention. It prefers well-drained soil and tolerates drought well. Excessive watering should be avoided to prevent waterlogging. Regular removal of dead leaves keeps the candle palm lily healthy and promotes the growth of new leaves. It only needs occasional fertiliser in spring and summer.
