Where did I get the plant from:
This plants is a one of the hybrids which I made in 2003, some of the seeds were send to Robert Wellens, Succulent Tissue Culture, The Netherlands. Whom by a special technique made some of the seedlings variegated in tissue culture. For more information about variegated Yuccas look at the page about variegated Yuccas.

Short description of the plant:
Plant: acaulescent Leaves: bluish - gray - green with one or many yellow stripes, stiff, -- long, -- cm wide around the middle, with many rather thick curly fibers at the margin of the leaves. Inflorescence: unknown. Scape: unknown. Flowers: unknown. Fruit unknown. Seeds unknown.

Where do I grow the plant:
I grow it a pot inside an unheated greenhouse.

Hardiness:
At the time of writing have I only grown it for a short time, so I can't really say if it will survive a hard winter, but I think that the it's parentage it's promising.

Other notes:
This plant is not available anywhere yet, but might be so sometime in the future, as in the beginning of 2010 the first cutting will be send ti USA, to be tested if its possible to propagate in tissue culture, a joint venture project with the well know nursery Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina.

The first cutting made from a rhizome cutting, did surprisingly have a very nice yellow edge on the leaves, and not yellow stripes down thru the center of the leaves. This gives me higher hope that it can be propagated in tissue culture.
