Beschorneria

Beschorneria is a genus of succulent plants belonging to the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, native to semi-arid areas of Mexico and Central America. They are generally large evergreen perennials forming clumps of grey-green leaves, with tall flower-spikes to 1.5 m. Marginally hardy, they may require winter protection in areas subject to frost.
