WHOLESALE FURCRAEA FOETIDA NURSERIES
Furcraea foetida ‘Mediopicta’ is commonly called ‘Mauritius Hemp’, it is one of the more popular foliage plants. Grown for the architectural nature of the foliage, this is an evergreen perennial with lance or sword shaped foliage.
Reaching up 2m in height with a 2m spread the foliage is a variegated creamy white and green, mainly paler tones. Foliage is fairly stiff and upright, however it spread nicely to form an attractive shape. Excellent in the ground and well as when grown in containers as a feature plant.
Over time it forms a nice rounded clump and being a succulent is drought tolerant once established.
It is not cold tolerant and does not like frosts, however many specimens are found growing as far south as Melbourne.
