This golden-variegated sport grows to form multiple rosettes of soft gray green leaves to 3 to 5 feet tall that have an attractive central stripe of yellow. In summer appear the stout pink colored stalks to 6 feet tall with pendulous green, pink-based flowers that are enclosed by reddish pink bracts. Plant in full sun, little water. Hardy to less than 15 °F - Beschorneria yuccoides is the hardiest species of Beschorneria.

It received US Plant Patent 22,162 on September 27, 2011. This plant is also marketed using the name "Reality" and is very similar to a plant sold in Australia as 'Colourwise'.
