Big bold dramatic bromeliad, one of the most impressive of the large Alcantarea bromeliads. Silver upper-sides of leaves, and dark burgundy red undersides.
This exotic looking plant grows for 10-20 years, after which it will produce a large flower spike growing up to 3 m in height, filled with small, fragrant flowers. The flower spike will last for about a year, but after that unfortunately the majestic mother plant will die. But it would have left behind many pups.
This plant can be grown outdoors in direct sun or part-shade, with the deeper colours developing in direct sun. The plant can also be grown indoors in an area with very bright light. A combination of its fantastic colour and majestic size makes it an incredible feature plant to any landscape or indoor area.
