Odorata

Description

The Odorata Alcantarea is a commanding presence in any setting, reaching an impressive 1.5 meters in both height and width. Its foliage is a testament to its grandeur, comprised of thick, leathery leaves ranging from pale green to silver, culminating in pointed tips. These strap-like leaves are arranged in a symmetrical rosette, offering a stunning contrast in texture and colour that can enliven any landscape design. This giant bromeliad culminates its slow and steady growth with a spectacular floral display; a towering flower spike that can ascend to 1.8 meters, adorned with a red stalk and a profusion of bright yellow, fragrant blossoms. Blooming may take time, spanning between three to five years, but the result is nothing short of breath-taking. The Odorata Alcantarea is remarkably adaptable, thriving in a diversity of climates. It is versatile in its use, equally striking as an indoor plant, an outdoor container showcase, or as a landscape feature, promising to deliver scale, colour, and exotic allure to any environment.  (Please Note: Plants available for shipping are offset size to 50cm)
