Agave striata is a dense, suckering rosette succulent with unique spiny pencil-like foliage, with nice spherical growth that branch profusely from the base. Older clumps can be 2-3 m broad. Due to the wide area of distribution, this species shows many different forms, particularly for general habit and leaf form, and to a lesser extent in flower structure. It is very similar to Agave stricta, and can be easily confused with a yucca. Probably the hardiest of the Agave species if planted in very free draining soil.  On offer is a pack of 6 Seeds - Germination Instructions will be sent to your email.

Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family, Agavaceae. Its species are notable for their rosettes of evergreen, tough, sword-shaped leaves and large terminal panicles of white or whitish flowers. They are native to the hot and dry (arid) parts of North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Yucca whipplei ssp. eremica is a synonym for Hesperoyucca whipplei ssp. eremica, a non-trunk-forming plant that forms rosettes, either solitary or with age in small groups, with very stiff blue leaves noticeably striated that are 20 cm to 40 cm long by about 2.5cm wide with a sharp tip and leaf margins that are rough to finely toothed and the underside of the leaf rough on the surface.           When the plant is mature the bell-shaped white flowers are formed on stout vertical spikes 1.2 m to 2.4 m tall - after flowering this plant produces new rosettes from the base of the flowering plant, which differentiates this plant from some other Hesperoyucca whipplei subspecies. Other characteristics that distinguish this plant are its shorter, broader and stiffer leaves and thicker seed capsules. This plant comes from Baja California Norte, Mexico where it grows on flat terrain to steep ridges from 300 m to 750 m in elevation. 

Yucca is a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the agave family, Agavaceae.

Yucca brevifolia, the Joshua Tree is a typical species of the Mojave Desert in California, Arizona, Nevada and northwards to Utah. The species name brevifolia comes from the Latin for short leafed. The tallest trees reach about 15 meters tall. Yucca brevifolia is great for a bird garden and a.           The trunk of a Joshua tree is made of thousands of small fibres. Older plants form a sturdy trunk that supports many crowns with typical spikey leaves. Yucca brevifolia 's foliage colour is green, evergreen. The rigid leaves are linear, bayonet-shaped, 40cm long and 2.5cm wide, tapering to a sharp point; they are borne in a dense spiral arrangement at the apex of the stems. The Joshua tree blooms in early spring. The nodding panicles are 50cm long, bearing 7.5cm greenish-white flowers with six tepals. Joshua trees usually do not branch until after they bloom and they don't bloom every year. Like most desert plants, their blooming is dependent on rainfall at the proper time. They also need a winter freeze before they will bloom. The fruit is a light brown to reddish capsule, 6 to 12cm long, 5cm in diameter; it dries and falls soon after maturity in late spring. The fruit is edible. Hardiness zones 7-10, (1°C/35°F, -15°C/5°F) in winter. The Joshua tree is very cold hardy and takes severe freezes with ease but, being a true plant of the desert, it prefers drier climates and is difficult to keep alive in cool, wet conditions. Extremely heat tolerant. They need sun, perfect drainage and little summer water.
