Planting Guide
Planting Suitability and Hardiness
Use this page as a practical checklist before asking us for a planting recommendation or a site-specific quotation.
Three things to check first
Winter minimum temperature
Consider not only the headline minimum but also frost pockets, cold wind, and radiational cooling.
Sunlight and drainage
Yuccas, agaves, and many subtropical plants fail more often from poor drainage than from cold alone.
Plant size and handling
The same species can behave differently depending on pot size, root ball handling, and delivery method.
Three practical hardiness groups
Cold-tolerant selections
Often workable in well-drained sites down to roughly -6 to -7C.
Typical examples: Yucca rostrata, Yucca filifera
Warm-region landscape plants
Best for protected or warm sites, sometimes with light frost protection.
Examples: variegated yucca, Furcraea, cycads
Protected or container use
Plants that should be discussed individually for colder regions or exposed sites.
Examples: Adenium, Bougainvillea, tropical foliage plants
What to prepare before you contact us
- ・ Site prefecture / city and the actual planting location
- ・ Approximate winter minimum temperature and frost conditions
- ・ Sun exposure, wind exposure, and drainage condition
- ・ Desired size, quantity, and preferred schedule
- ・ Site photos or drawings if available
Planting suitability changes with microclimate. We confirm the actual site conditions and specimen size before giving a final recommendation.
