We love the Yucca Elphatipes with spiked green, sword-shaped leaves springing up from the palm-like trunk, this narrow houseplant makes a striking statement and has a very sculptural look, a perfect houseplant for corners. Native to Central and South America and Mexico, it’s truly a taste of the rainforest - it really looks as though it has just burst out of the undergrowth!

This large houseplant is a sun lover, so it needs somewhere where it can soak up the rays, a south-facing window would be ideal so it can lap up the light. It’s unusual among houseplants - a lot of them can’t take direct sun but this one really loves basking in direct light.

Yucca Elphatipes gets its name from its trunk - which, over time, thickens to resemble an elephant’s foot! We like this striking houseplant in a basket for a stylish magazine kind of look.

Most people know the Yucca plant - but what really makes it outstanding is the way you style it - think carefully about your planter or you can even use a basket.  We do a great selection of seagrass planters that can add that special touch to your plant.

What a wonderful gift this would make! We’ll add in a free, handwritten card if you tell us your gift message - just leave a note of it at the basket stage of the checkout and we’ll arrange the rest.

No giveaway paperwork either!
