x Biltanthus 'Red Burst' is a small nice ornamental, good for terrariums or small spaces. It can be grown as a Cryptanthus but it has more cold-tolerance, to about -2 C.

x Biltanthus Red Burst is a Bromeliad hybrid

It is a cross between the tropical Cryptanthus bahianus (Seed Parent) and the frost-hardy Billbergia nutans (Pollen Parent), so it is a cold-proof Cryptanthus-like plant, good for terrariums!

This plant was formerly called x Cryptbergia 'Red Burst', but now the correct name is "Biltanthus"

According to the Bromeliad Cultivar Register, this Biltanthus was created before 1952 in California.
