Vriesea Bromeliad

The impressive Flaming Sword Bromeliad (Vriesea splendens) shows off their sword-shaped red flower spike and dark green with purple and black stripes. They don't bloom until they a re aged three to five years. Long yellow tubular flowers will emerge from the red flattened bracts for greater contrast. Expect the bracts to last several weeks to give a great show. Once they fade, pups will form, and propagation naturally begins to recreate the festive look in the future. Show more
