We made a new section for caudex plants, agaves and other succulents that need a little more heating.
In total we created 900 m2 extra plant storage with floor heating.
The extra space in our nursery has been added to the yucca section. Now you can choose from over 4000 potted Yuccas ssp.!
Ofcourse we also have over 8000 Yucca ssp. planted in full soil.

This solitary, sometimes clump-forming Agave parryi var. huachucensis is the largest of the three hardy Agave parryi var. The wide steelblue-grey leaves form a striking rosette. The leaves can get 60 cm long ending in a large and sharp, dark brown or black coloured spine measuring 2-3 cm. This Agave ssp. forms an offset on its roots. It blooms in late spring or early summer and the flowers grow on large branching stalks up to 3-4 m high. The pink buds open to become bright yellow flowers. This species is hardy till minus 10°C, but good water drainage is essential, as with all agaves and is absolutely critical for survival in cold but wet climates such as our climate here in Holland. The plant originally grows in Southwest Arizona, New Mexico, and the State of Sonora and Chihuahua in Northern Mexico. Price: € 38,00

This Agave is a hybride of Agave victoria-reginae and Agave scabra .The name Shark Skin was applied due to the plant's texture and colour. It feels like the skin of a shark.

This Agave ssp. produces suckers, eventually forming large colonies. It is hardy till minus 5°C and needs full sun. Price: € 38,00.

Tetrapanax papyrifera sterioidal giant is one amazing looking tropical favorite. It grows as a shrub or small tree (2-3 m) and belongs to the ginseng family (Araliaceae), native to southern China and Taiwan. It is used to produce rice paper. It has large, lobed leaves that form a crown. The central tissue of the stem is split and pressed into thin sheets, used for surgical dressings and watercolour paper. This ‘Ricepaper plant’ will spread underground in good soil, so do not plant it near small defenseless plants, since it will overgrow them. Hardiness -13°C till -15°C.
We grow these for years now, but because of the huge demand we are always immediately sold out.
