Description

Beschorneria yuccoides is a stemless plant with 20 to 35 linear, lanceolate, leathery and widened at their base leaves. They are gray-green to green, about {{convert|40|-|60|cm}} long and {{convert|3.3|-|3.5|cm}} wide. The leaf margins are finely denticulate. The inflorescence reaches a height of {{convert|100|-|180|cm}}, with a maximum of 320 centimeters. The stem and the bract are red. The flowers are 40 to 50 millimeters long. The fruits are elongated to almost spherical, {{convert|30|-|40|mm}} long and {{convert|15|-|25|mm}} wide.[2][3]

Distribution

Beschorneria yuccoides is present in Mexico,[4] in the states of Hidalgo, Puebla and Veracruz, at an elevation of {{convert|2700|-|3000|m}} above sea level.[5]

Cultivation

This plant is not tolerant of frosts, and is best suited to warm, sheltered south- or west-facing places in full sun, where temperatures do not fall below {{convert|-5|C|F}}. Alternatively it can be grown under glass.

It grows outdoors at Earlscliffe, Howth, Co. Dublin, Ireland, at a latitude of 53.3º N, where it benefits from the unusually favourable microclimate. [6]

In cultivation in the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.[7]
