Furcraea Foetida (Mauritius Hemp) is a striking evergreen succulent known for its bold, sword-shaped leaves that form a rosette. The green leaves often have creamy yellow variegation along their edges, making it a stunning addition to xeriscapes, tropical gardens, or as a container plant. Its dramatic, architectural form adds structure and interest to any landscape.
Although primarily grown for its ornamental appeal, Mauritius Hemp occasionally produces tall flower spikes with small, bell-shaped greenish-white flowers. This hardy and drought-tolerant plant is ideal for low-maintenance gardens and thrives in a variety of climates.
