    Hi gardeners,

    I bought this plant 10 years ago and it's one of my favourites.

    I don't actually know what it was - I think it's an agave. I've decided it's about time I learnt all the plants in my garden.

    Would anyone know what type?

    All the best
    Fin

    I think it's a yucca.:smile:
    Possibly gloriosa varegata.

        Aha! Yucca gloriosa varegata - thank you!
        :dbgrtmb:
        It's almost a foot of the ground now and sends off a massive, dramatic flower which I love. I also think it works well with the trachycarpus.
