PROPAGATED IN AUSTRALIA
This bromeliad has Christmas colours! Dark green leaves and red center (if kept under shade). This is a yet unnamed neo hybrid with glossy green leaves that turn crimson in partial sunlight. A great showy variety for the patio or front yard.
An unusually attractive foliage plant with mottled leaves, Manfreda maculosa Texas Tuberose also known as rattlesnake agave is a great choice for rock gardens. It can take full sun to partial shade with a well drained soil mix. Needs very less water. Plants are watered only enough to keep the foliage from shriveling.
