Matchstick Bromeliad
(Aechmea gamosepala)
Aechmea gamosepala
Aechmea gamosepala is one of our favorite Bromeliads! The Blue-Purple color of the flower positively radiates off from the Electric Pink colored bracts. This Aechmeia’s stunningly beautiful inflorense, combined with its ease of cultivation, makes this a highly sought after Bromeliad. This Bromeliad is a colsemi-epiphytic kind of plant; a single plant will quickly form a spectacular cluster of multiple rosettes by a liberal production of stolons (or runners) from the ‘mother’ plant. As with most bromeliads the centre of the rosette forms a water-holding cup. We offer these unique plants as a single rosettes shipped bare root.
