Description

This fabulously attractive, exotic plant is hardy down to -5°C and very drought tolerant too! Originating in Chile, ‘Fascicularia Bicolour’ is a rare and unusual plant that forms an impressive and tough mound of long, thin, grey-green foliage.

In summer, the inner leaves turn bright red and a ball of electric blue and yellow flowers are formed at the centre of mature plants. This striking combination of colours will be an astonishing contrast to your autumn garden, bringing an exotic twist right through to November! It grows to about 50cm so it is perfect for containers or pots put it in a sunny spot on your patio and it will thrive for years to come.

Although ‘Fascicularia Bicolour’ is hardy, it will benefit from protection during the coldest winter weather, especially wet.

Supplied as an established plant in a 1 litre pot, growing to a height of 50cm (20in) and width of 75cm (2½ft).

Top Tips
  • When offsets appear, they can be separated from the parent to give you more plants.
Care Information
  • Plant your bromeliad in sharply-draining, gritty and humus-rich soil.
  • Water only moderately during active growth, as bromeliads don’t like to sit in wet soil.
  • Feed monthly with a high nitrogen fertiliser.
  • Your bromeliad may take several years to flower, but you’ll see the red leaves.
  • No pruning is required, but beware of the sharp leaves!
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
