Bromeliad Quesnelia marmorata (Quesnelia marmorata)

This rare and unusual bromeliad has upright, tubular silver-green spotted foliage that curls at the terminal end of each leaf. In spring and summer, a purple and pink inflorescence arises from the central cup of the foliage. Because of its upright form, Quesnelia is often used alone, or in combination with other tropicals, to create a dramatic vertical plant display. It forms young plants, or pups, around the mother plant. These can be transplanted into other pots for your garden, or given as gifts to friends and family.
