Only for the mildest areas, planted in the shelter of a warm wall, Beschorneria yuccoides Flamingo Glow is an exotic-looking perennial plant with rosettes of lance-shaped, yucca-like leaves, variegated in longitudinal stripes of yellow and grey green. In midsummer, mature plants produce bright pink stems up to 5’/1.5m tall with lime-green flowers within long carmine bracts. In colder areas, Beschorneria Flamingo Glow should be planted in cactus compost in a large container and brought into a frost-free greenhouse for the winter.
