Grown for its terrific variegated foliage, Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta' is an evergreen succulent perennial which forms a fountain of upright, long, sword-shaped leaves with slightly wavy margins, resembling undulating ribbons. Soft and not serrated, the luminous green leaves are adorned with a broad, decorative creamy-yellow stripe along their center. Usually stemless, this plant produces strongly scented, greenish to creamy-white flowers atop a 25 ft. spike (6m) that is attractive to bees. They open in succession over several weeks. This plant is monocarpic and dies after flowering. While it does not offset and form pups, it produces abundant plantlets along the bloom spike that you may want to replant in order to ensure a continuing presence of this beauty in the garden. Furcraea foetida 'Mediopicta' brings an exotic look to the landscape and makes a dramatic focal point in sunny borders or decorative containers.
