'Lucky Stripes'

This variegated bromeliad is easily grown in part shade where the creamy foliage will brighten up the darkest corner. The leaves are edged with stripes of cream that varies from plant to plant.

Alcantarea imperialis

Without a doubt one of the most impressive bromeliads available. Will reach large proportions over time and makes an ideal feature plant looking spectacular in a pot. The leaves are leathery and tough and this plant will take a considerable amount of sunlight, though ensure that it is protected from all day sun. A bonus in being able to withstand relatively cool nights and the occasional light frost.
