Alcantarea Brasiliana

This colossal green bromeliad with broad corrugated leaves will effectively punctuate long sightlines, as at Cairns’ Flecker Botanical Gardens; and help define the shades of neighbouring foliage.
Full sun but suitable for shade.
Dimensions: 2.0m X 1.5m.
Flower: creamy yellow flowers with pinkie red bracts on a spike to 2m lasting 12 months on the plant.
Foliage: is a deep green with slight mottling, very wide corrugated leaves. Thornless.
Uses: Wonderful feature or large container plant that contrasts well against feature walls in strong colours, or for defining larger gardens.
