Nolina hibernica La Siberica
Nolina hibernica La Siberica
Hello, Beautiful plant, however, either it stayed in the dark for a long time or the plant was "tied up" but the entire core is white due to a lack of chlorophyll. What a shame.

Nolina hibernica, also known as Nolina siberica, is a plant still rare in cultivation, discovered only about twenty years ago in the high mountains of Mexico. It resembles an arborescent yucca or a cordyline, perched on a tall, sturdy trunk topped by a dense fountain composed of long ribbon-like leaves. It is one of the hardiest Nolina species, able to withstand short frosts of around -15°C (5°F), if planted in gravelly or rocky soil. It is undoubtedly the best Nolina adapted to temperate climates of Western and Southern Europe, and unquestionably a masterful piece for a large exotic rockery.
Nolina hibernica is a plant from the Asparagaceae family, native to misty pine and oak forests occupying the dry slopes of the Eastern Sierra Madre, a mountain range located in northeastern Mexico. This plant grows up to 3200m (10499ft) altitude, not far from Agave americana, in a cold and humid environment in winter, sometimes snowy, experiencing freezing nights in winter and very hot and dry summers. It is an arborescent botanical species, with fairly rapid growth, initially forming a single, particularly solid trunk, topped by a spherical crown composed of numerous long linear leaves. An adult plant may show a divided trunk. It will reach about 3 to 4m (10 to 13ft) in height and form a crown of 1.5m (5ft) in diameter under our climates. The leaves develop at the end of the trunk. As the plant grows, the trunk appears covered with a thick parchment-like "skirt" made up of the remains of old dried leaves. The shiny, flexible, light green leaves are slightly spiralled. The flowering, in spring or summer, takes the form of a monumental panicle, 1 to 2m (3 to 7ft) in height, feathery in appearance, composed of thin small white flowers not exceeding 2mm (1in).
Nolina hibernica seems even easier to cultivate when planted in rocky soil, or soil composed of a good amount of gravel that allows for perfect drainage. Naturally, it will find its place in a large rockery, on a difficult slope, in full sun or even partial shade. This plant is ideal for brilliantly structuring the centre of an exotic bed. In warm climates, it can be planted alone or on an arid slope with Puya caerulea, Agave americana, Cylindropuntia imbricata, Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia), giant fennel, fairly hardy candle cacti (Cleistocactus strausii), and equally undemanding viper's bugloss from the Canary Islands. It can also be planted in a very large pot on a terrace, right next to Trachycarpus wagnerianus or Tetrapanax, carefully choosing a sheltered spot in full sun.

Botanical data
Plant in full sun or partial shade in warm climates, in preferably poor, rocky, stony, sandy, but well-drained soil. However, it is afraid of winter humidity and cold, which can cause root rot, and tolerates perfectly dry soils in summer. It is indifferent to soil pH, which can be slightly acidic, neutral or slightly alkaline. It will withstand occasional frost, to approximately -15°C (5°F), once well established. However, we recommend protecting young plants from severe frost for the first 2 or 3 years. Once well established, this plant does not require any watering in summer, even in a hot climate. As the plant reaches a large size, it should be grown in very large pots, preferably terracotta or wooden containers. It should be stored indoors or in a cold greenhouse during winter, protected from severe frost in colder regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

It will vary according to where you live:
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
