Fascicularia Pitcairnifolia
Fascicularia BiColor
An attractive clump forming bromeliad with long green leaves with spines, down the margins. As the plant matures, perhaps when 2 to 3 years old, it produces white flowers from the middle of the plant and the leaves towards the centre turn to red/orange. It produces interesting offsets at the crown.

Planting Outdoors
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
These plants need a free draining soil so dig in sand or grit before planting in a sunny, sheltered position.
Flowering
From Mid Summer TO Early Autumn
When the plant matures in 2/3 years white flowers are produced in the centres.
