Add colour and interest to your living space with this hardy, evergreen plant. This Bromeliad is easy to grow and produces architectural, silver foliage with red undersides. It thrives in sunny to partly shaded positions and makes a striking addition to outdoor areas when grown in the ground or in large pots. It is also an excellent addition to a well lit, indoor position. The flowering process can take one year, and once this has occured, this plant will die and be replaced by pups that shoot from the original base. The pups can be easily removed and potted on. Be sure to protect this plant from frost.
