This impressive plant showcases long, arching leaves that can grow up to 6 feet in length, forming a stunning rosette shape. The leaves are bluish-green with a waxy coating, giving them a unique, glossy appearance. In the summer, it produces tall flower spikes adorned with clusters of white flowers that attract pollinators, adding a dramatic focal point to any garden.
Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Furcraea Macdougalii prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade, making it versatile for various garden settings.
Watering: Low Water Requirement
Once established, this plant is very drought-tolerant. Water infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water every 2 to 3 weeks, and reduce watering in the fall and winter.
Companion Planting:
Pair Furcraea Macdougalii with Agave, Aloe, or Euphorbia for a striking desert-inspired garden. Its architectural form complements flowering plants like Salvia and Lantana, creating a vibrant and diverse landscape that attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
