Miguel is a Yucca desmetiana—a striking ornamental yucca native to Mexico. It features a slender trunk and a fountain of gently arching, sword-shaped leaves in tones of smoky green, mauve, and soft purple. Unlike other yuccas, its foliage is pliable and non-spiky, making it a safer, more refined choice for both indoor and outdoor use. With its sculptural silhouette and colour-shifting foliage, Miguel adds depth and movement to contemporary spaces.

Care:
– Water deeply every two to three weeks, allowing soil to dry out between waterings
– Requires excellent drainage—avoid letting it sit in water
– Indoors, place in a bright position; outdoors, thrives in full sun to part shade
– Drought-tolerant once established
– Slow-growing and low-maintenance
– Not frost-tolerant
– Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring for best growth
