The epitome of �ornamental statement� for the larger dry garden or cactus garden! This slow growing, stunning, terrestrial member of the Bromeliad 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 all Bromeliads, it is a prolific suckerer & each sucker lasts for years before dying. Perfect companion plant for Aloes & Agaves. Can be grown in large containers & �-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!
