Description

Extraordinary colour, contrast, and all-round garden impact! 

For most of the year, this Hardy Bromeliad Fascicularia bicolor forms a bold, evergreen clump of silver-green, spiky rosettes that bring a real designer look to the garden. Then, in late summer, the central foliage blushes a blazing scarlet red and reveals clusters of vivid blue flowers nestled in the heart of the plant.

This Chilean native brings something genuinely different to UK gardens. It offers architectural shape, evergreen presence and a burst of unexpected colour when many borders begin to fade. It is especially valuable for gardeners who want an exotic look without the usual high-maintenance fuss.

Give it sharply drained soil and shelter from winter wet, and it rewards with a dramatic display. In milder areas it can grow outside year round, while gardeners in colder or wetter spots can enjoy it in a container and move it under cover in winter.

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

Top Tips
  • When offsets appear, they can be separated from the parent to give you more plants.
Care Information
  • Plant your bromeliad in sharply-draining, gritty and humus-rich soil.
  • Water only moderately during active growth, as bromeliads don’t like to sit in wet soil.
  • Feed monthly with a high nitrogen fertiliser.
  • Your bromeliad may take several years to flower, but you’ll see the red leaves.
  • No pruning is required, but beware of the sharp leaves!
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
