Neoregelia cruenta 'Variegated' (Rafael) VIPP 5-20-19 ) with whip-like leaves andThis 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.
