Aechmea hybrida Del Mar

Attractive upright plant with leaves arranged in a circular pattern that give a lush, tropical feel to the landscape. Showy long-lasting, purple, red and pink flowers rise above the foliage. Many of these species form a water holding cup out of central leaves in the centre of the plant that collects water and decaying debris to satisfy the plants nutritional needs. Bromeliads can be planted in the ground, in pots and epiphytic varieties can be attached to trees & logs in subtropical & tropical climates.
