“Rubra” is a large and colourful Bromeliad that features thick and leathery, purple-red leaves with a dark green hue. The leaves are borne as a crown and result in plant that typically grows to 1.5 m tall and the same wide. It may produce a large flower spike that reach 3 m tall with mildly fragrant, cream-white flowers. This herbaceous perennial grows best when planted in partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It will tolerate a light frost only and should not be allowed to dry out. This Bromeliad is commonly maintained in a container, included in a tropical garden, added to a mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, or used to border an entranceway.
