Exotic plants give your garden a holiday feel. This selection has been chosen for its winter hardiness, so you can enjoy it for years to come.
The Yucca rostrata has a rounded crown of narrow, silvery-blue leaves and can withstand temperatures down to around -15 °C, provided it is kept dry.
The Trachycarpus, also known as the Chinese fan palm, is the most winter-hardy palm tree: down to around -15 °C.
Give them a sunny, sheltered spot and very well-draining soil. Wet feet in winter are the greatest danger.
During severe frost, tie the palm fronds together and protect the crown with fleece. Place potted plants in a sheltered spot against a wall.
