Aechmea callichroma - Flowering size

Large and beautiful landscaping bromeliad approx 1 m (3 ft) tall with wide leaves. Aechmea callichroma grows fast in hot and sunny conditions. Leaf colour is olive green in the shade and turns intense pink if exposed to full sun. Leaves are moderately spiny

It blooms in mid to late summer with 1,6 m (5 ft) tall orange-yellow inflorescences, lasting about five months.

This plant was formerly cultivated under the wrong name Aechmea mulfordi, but it corresponds to a different species.

Aechmea callichroma is one of the best large bromeliads for sunny areas, often combined with the yellow-orange Aechmea blanchetiana, to achieve magnificent effects.

We offer a large adult-sized Aechmea

We sell a mature plant that are going to flower in july. Here we offer a huge plant of this landscaping bromeliad, about 80-100 cm tall. We chose a plant that will be able to flower in less than one year, in the following June-August season. The inflorescence will last until december. This spectacular specimen will fill up any corner of a garden. Then it will soon become a large "mother plant" with many pups.
