But we now have "rhizomes" to offer that are rapidly growing in pots and have a minimum of 1 or more quick growing plants per each pot. Shipping & handling cost will be much less expensive since it isn't as large as the other very large available Aechmea blanchetiana plants we offer. Get yours NOW! When you think of a tropical landscape, the first plants that most likely come to mind are palm trees, plumeria and beautiful flowering shrubs. There is another plant- these plants are the bromeliads. Like almost every plant group, there are representatives for all kinds of planting needs. There are bromeliads that can handle all the water you can give them and even ones that are xerophytic. There are bromeliads that love the sun and ones that grow better in full shade. Some can be planted in poor soils and still others are entirely epiphytic. One bromeliad that really doesn't care about any of that is Aechmea blanchetiana. It is quite possibly the most bulletproof bromeliad. Aechmea blanchetiana is one of the larger bromeliad species and even though it is endemic to Brazil's Atlantic forest, I can vouch for its cold hardiness. Mine suffered no damage when it saw 28° F during winter. Online you can read reports of Aechmea blanchetiana taking frosts and lows of 26° F with very little damage. It has proven for me to be a great way to get a hardy, colorful, long-term perennial into the garden! While Aechmea blanchetiana can grow in shade, you will lose the rich colors, as the yellow coloration will turn to green. I find this bromeliad to be a true sun lover. If you want to add some contrasting color to your garden, grow Aechmea blanchetiana in mostly sun and you will be greatly rewarded. Aechmea blanchetiana, when happy, will pup profusely and provide you with more plants than you will ever need over the years. In fact, every plant that is in my garden started from a single pup almost 10 years ago. Many of the colorful leafed bromeliads have simple, or even just plain ugly, flowers. While Aechmea blanchetiana flowers won't win a beauty contest, they're certainly attractive enough to demand attention. The showy part of the Aechmea blanchetiana flower stalk is actually made up of clusters of red and yellow bracts. These flower stalks can reach as high as 5 feet tall and eventually open small nondescript flowers. This flower spike can last as long as a few months. Very easy to root, just put in large pot or ground- it will root on its own. A beautiful plant that isn't fussy at all!
