Beschorneria septentrionalis

Beschorneria septentrionalis

Shade Tolerant False Red Agave

This plant is found wild in dry woodland in the Mexican mountains. We grow it in our dry climate garden in dry shade under olive trees. Evergreen softly succulent rosettes some 90cm wide by 80cm tall, like a green leaved spineless agave, are bold and handsome all the year round. During late spring and summer B. septentrionalis send up two metres tall glossy red stems carry dozens of large red, green tipped, narrow bells. When pollinated the golf ball sized seed pods make a handsome display well into winter.
