@leilatequila8CKxWkaS In recent years your Yucca would have probably come through without a problem. Gardeners are trying more tender plants as our winters get milder but there is still the risk of a cold spell and we need to be prepared for the fact that these plants will be at risk. I don't think gardeners will change their ideas, taking the chance and hoping that a more tender plant will make it through is part of the challenge and great when it works. Hope to hear from you in spring. Always lots of help here.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
Resurrecting this thread as my recently planted yucca gloriosa variagata seems to regularly need its lower leaves trimmed off as they keep going brown and discoloured. The centre of the plant however is very healthy and seems to be growing normally. It’s in a sunny spot and should be getting at least 8 hours a day - if it was a normal summer! - but is it possible the constant wet weather is getting to it?

Tidy gardeners remove the dead and dying lower leaves.
