yucca aloifolia purpurea

Today I finally managed to spend some time in the garden , Finally i was trying to plant few plants that I`ve left outside for about a week before planting and end up with the yucca aloifolia purpurea and just rembered that don`t really know a lot about this plant , has anyone got one?
how tall will it grow? will it really cope with -10 ? will it spreed out ?

 

that is stunning!

 

Al got mine at Cotcso for £13 , but you can buy one at

still not sure of how will perform in Uk , but I`ve looked on internet and apparently took -10 in USA , in full sun will turn purple.

 

Hi Sal, that's a nice plant.
I'm not sure about it being Y. aloifolia.
I have a Y. aloifolia plant which is now a 9ft high clump.

The leaves look too wide and floppy for aliofolia, so its difficult to say how hardy it is likely to be.
A general rule seems to be variegated/ coloured leaved cultivars of most plants are not as hardy as the true species.
-10C for a yucca is not that unusual, but I do find some of the really hardy ones can suffer even in mild winters if it's very wet.

 

Thank you Pete , as you say it seam to suffer the rain , like every other yucca at the moment , apparently is a yucca desmettiana hybrid wich is market as hardy to -9 .
I`ve recently seen many new species of yucca around garden center , but many are really expencive and not sure if they will survive.
Didn`t get the name but saw a tricolor red yucca , it was stunning .
this yucca look really nice and would like to lose it , so I`m thinking of potting and move in extreme cold or wet.

 

thanks sal, i've got to get myself one of them!

 

I have one also, just need some more sunshine to bring their colour back!!

 

Thank you Wayne , is your plant outdoor or potted?
ps more sunshine????? did you see any around???? where i can buy some of it?????
