Notas de cultivo
Suckers to make a tight clump. If removing lower leaves be sure to use a sharp serrated tool as the leaves are surprisingly fibrous.
Beschornerias, with their lovely unarmed leaves, are a wonderful soft element in a tropical or cloud forest garden.
Beschornerias can grow in some shade, but will need sharp drainage. They don't like wet soil and roots during dark winters. Alternatively, if you are in a hot inland garden, the plant will appreciate some shade.
Interés especial
Beschornerias bloom in early summer with tall, colorful red-to-pink branched flower spikes composed of many dangling flowers that are much sought after by hummingbirds. Pink flowers are sometimes tinted green or yellow, adding interest. Once the flower spike has dried up it can be removed, encouraging branching or pups on pupping varieties.
Be sure to give it additional food and water after blooming to help it recover.
