Beschorneria yuccoides 'Flamingo Glow'
Variegated Amole
Description
This unusual but attractive succulent has rosettes of 2' long and 2" wide gray green leaves that look like swords. However, there are no spines on these leaves. These clumps eventually reach 3'-4' wide. During the summer, a thick pink stalk rises above the foliage, reaching 7' tall. The stalk is very branched, with many yellow green flowers. This plant tolerates full to part sun. It needs well draining soil. It becomes drought tolerant once it's established.
