Neoregelia cruenta 'Variegated' (Rafael) SOUTH AFRICA The plant in the photoThis species is native to coastal Brazil in the restinga, essentially from Rio de Janeiro northward. This rare variegated sport was found there a few years ago. A stunning form of cruenta with stiff, upright spreading growth, green leaves with bold white variegation and slight red tips in a rosette up to 3 feet across. A real beauty, and as rare as they get, hardy and easy to grow.
