Tillandsia Cyanea – The Pink Quill Plant

An outstanding small bromeliad, Tillandsia cyanea or ‘Pink Quill plant’, produces a long lasting bloom that consists of a tall pink to mauve flower bract or quill, with individual blue flowers opening from each segment from the lower section mooring towards the top.

The flower spike or bract will last for 2 – 3 months and will hold its colour well. It will then turn green and eventually drop off.  A new flower spike it eventually grow.  The individual blue flowers will last 2 – 4 days before dropping off and the next one appearing.

This is an evergreen plant, the foliage is a mid green and strap like, attractive in itself. The blue flowers have a gentle fragrance, more apparent in warmer weather. The flower spike will be a deeper colour in brighter light than in shade.

Can be grown in pots, atop logs and rocks, or as a ground cover in part shade areas (protected from hot afternoon sun).

Pot sold separately.
