Beschornaria Reality – an outstanding plant for exposed dry gardens

This stunning architectural looking plant features in a landscape job I did for a client in Te Awamutu about 15 months ago. The plant is called Beschornaria Reality. It has very attractive foliage with a striking yellow stripe running down the middle of each leaf. I use it on landscape sites where its very windy and exposed and it handles coastal conditions very easily. The plant gets to about 1.0 m x 1.0m wide. The plant also has a tall pink flamingo coloured flower spike in the Spring. It has a clumping habit and because its very drought tolerant, it makes a very good container plant.
