Dyckia ‘Red’

Dyckia 'Red' has dramatic red rosettes of succulent foliage with silver undersides. A fantastic pot specimen and good winter houseplant.

‘Red’ has long, red leaves with silvery undersides and serrated teeth. Dyckia are the most cold tolerant of the Bromeliad family. They are drought tolerant but thrive on frequent watering during the active growing season. Keep plants on the dry side during cold weather. Grow outdoors under cover in coastal BC or as a pot specimen that becomes a winter houseplant elsewhere.
