The epitome of “ornamental statement” for the larger dry garden or cactus garden! This slow growing, stunning, terrestrial member of theBromeliad family forms gorgeous, architectural, compact rosettes 40” tall (spreading to 5’ across) of serrated, silvery white “pineapple” leaves. In late Winter through early Summer, the knock-your-socks-off deep blue-purple blooms emerge from huge, red pine-cone like clusters atop red, stiff, upright stems to 3’ tall. Like allBromeliads, it is a prolific suckerer & each sucker lasts for years before dying. Perfect companion plant for Aloes & Agaves. Can be grown in large containers & ½-barrels. Give it well drained, fertile soil for perfect presentation. Said to be hardy to 20 F. The epitome of “ornamental statement” for the larger dry garden or cactus garden!
