Cultivation tips: Beschorneria is related to Agave and originates from semi arid locations so is not totally hardy in the UK. Requiring planting in a sunny sheltered location on well yet fertile gritty or sandy soils this plant will not tolerate soils that are wet during the winter months. Plant at the back of Rockery as a large specimen, but beware of scale issues! Also consider planting in pots for winter protection.
