Description

The most popular of all the Alcantarea or giant bromeliad. This plant grows well in full sun or part shade. They require very little maintenance. May just need to trim a few dead leaves occasionally. They provide awesome colour in any garden, the leaves being silver-green on top and a rich purple colour on the underside. They may reach 1.5m in height and 1.5m wide when fully grown. They can survive drought periods. Best if water maintained in central ‘tank’.
