A new and distinct Hosta plant named ‘Beyond Glory’ with foliage having stiff, thick-substance cordate blades of very wide dark green margins, and with leaf centers of yellow to chartreuse. The light-lavender flowers are very tightly congested on vertical scapes well above foliage in mid to late summer.

The new and distinct Hosta plant named Hosta ‘Angel Falls’ with arching, elongated, cordate leaves having dark green margins with wide yellowish centers that develop into a creamy-white to near white centers. Flowers are light lavender on large-sized plant held attractively above the variegated foliage; each flower subtended and set off by large pointed bract.

The invention relates to a method to improve breeding in dioecious plants, preferably Asparagus plants, comprising providing a plant in which the functional expression of the dominant suppressor of gynoecium development is disrupted or reduced and introducing said plant in inbreeding, backcross breeding, recurrent backcross breeding or double haploid breeding techniques. Preferably said dominant suppressor of gynoecium development is a gene comprising a DUF247 domain. Also provided are dioeciuos plants in which the expression of this gene is disrupted or reduced.

A new and distinct Hosta plant named ‘Mouseketeer’ producing a small-sized upright mound of small leaves that are nearly rounded, lightly cupped, with rounded bases and rounded apices. The leaves are stiff, and smooth, with flat margins and heavy substance. Leaf color is dark green to slightly bluish-green on the wide margins and light yellow in the center with irregular small green flecks and varying shades of light green between the margin and center. The petioles are broad and display the green margin and light yellow center colors. ‘Mouseketeer’ is useful in the landscape, as a container plant, a specimen or en masse.

A new cultivar of Lomandra longifolia plant named ‘KM-MG24’ that is characterized by its foliage that is bright gold in color and its weeping plant habit.

A new and distinct cultivar of Hesperaloe plant named ‘MSWNPered’, characterized by its relatively compact plant habit; vigorous growth habit; upright purplish red-colored peduncles; campanulate bright red-colored flowers; and good garden performance.

The new plant variety ‘Pheasant Tail’ is part of the long leaves sansevieria varieties. It can reach 90 cm in length, with an average of approximately 4-7 leaves per plant. The new plant variety ‘Pheasant Tail’ is cylinder shaped, the arrangement of the leaves is in the form of a rosette. Leave colors are very different compared to its parent variety (‘Wintergreen’), but like its parent variety the new plant variety ‘Pheasant Tail’ shows also variegated bands on the leaves with no distinguishable margins and produces more leaves per rosette. Additionally, new plant variety ‘Pheasant Tail’ shows, unlike the parent variety, high resistance to anthracnose disease caused by C.sansevierae which gives the new variety a greater competitive advantage as well as its sister variety ‘Spearmint’ (Patent No. U. S. 32,333).

A new and unique x Mangave plant named ‘Dragon Lady’ characterized by a compact, rounded mound of fleshy, linear to lanceolate, leaves that are wavy, twisted, slightly-arching and terminate in a flexible apical spine. The leaves have numerous small, flexible marginal teeth pointing outwardly. Foliage is variegated with the leaf centers becoming creamy-yellow with cherry-red spots. The new plant is suitable for the garden or as a potted plant in the garden or home.
