Fascicularia Bicolor

Description

Fascicularia bicolor is a beautiful, evergreen bromeliad native to Brazil, prized for its vibrant blue and red coloration. The plant forms a rosette of narrow, spiny leaves, which can turn red or pink when stressed, creating a stunning visual contrast. During the blooming period, the center of the rosette is filled with blue flowers, surrounded by red bracts, creating an eye-catching display that lasts for several weeks.

Growing up to 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) in height and width, Fascicularia bicolor is an excellent choice for adding color and texture to rock gardens, containers, or as an accent plant in landscaping. This hardy plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited for a variety of climates, making it ideal for USDA zones 8-11. It requires minimal maintenance, tolerating dry conditions once established, and is perfect for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, colorful addition to their outdoor space. Whether planted in a decorative pot or as part of a mixed garden bed, Fascicularia bicolor brings lasting beauty and intrigue to your landscape.
