Mexican Lily (Beschorneri Yuccoides) | 10+ Seeds | Very Rare

Please find for sale 10+ seeds for Beschorneria Yuccoides, better known as the Mexican Lily. This striking evergreen perennial forms a very architectural focus of any planting scheme. Its long strap like, succulent leaves are grey green in colour and covered in a white bloom. When they flower, the spike can vary in colour from pale pink to bright red, with yellow tubular flowers opening up to four feet tall.

As it originates from Mexico, this plant is not fully hardy in the UK - it is best gorwn in pots or troughs and brought into the greenhouse over the winter. The key to growing these in the UK is sharp drainage to replicate their homeland, and not planting them out when they are too small.
