Dyckia rariflora 4" pot

Sold Out $12.00

Charming bromeliad relative with a rosette of fleshy, dark green leaves. Will quickly form a clump and send up tall spikes of bright orange flowers every spring. Sends out offshoots readily and, unlike most members of this family, doesn't die after blooming. Appreciates a well-drained mix and can be grown outside in full sun in areas that don't get below 20 degrees F and a pot in other areas. New to Dyckias, I am quite delighted with this cute, carefree plant.
