Description

Fascicularia bicolor delivers bold evergreen structure first, then unleashes a startling late summer display of scarlet red foliage and bright blue flowers that feels almost unreal. It is a hardy bromeliad with real personality, bringing a spiky, architectural shape that stands out brilliantly among softer planting.

For UK gardeners, that means year-round interest followed! Its silver-green rosettes stay handsome through the seasons, while the flowering display creates a hot shot of colour that instantly lifts patios, gravel gardens, raised beds and sheltered borders.

This is a Chilean native that enjoys sharp drainage and resents cold, wet winter conditions more than cold alone, so it suits a sheltered sunny spot or a container that can be protected when temperatures drop. Mature plants stay around 45cm high but can spread broadly to around 100cm, creating a strong, sculptural presence.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready to plant.
