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.

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

Our experienced team at the nursery will always carefully package and send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive once you receive and plant them.

We send most of our orders via a fully tracked courier service with Yodel. We will send you a tracking link as soon as your order has been dispatched.
