Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Blue Rose’

The Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Blue Rose’ is an attractive ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, highly valued for its compact habit, resilience, and intense blue-violet blooms. It is an air plant ideal for collectors and striking decor.

This hybrid is one of the creations of Bob Holm, known for developing tillandsias with great ornamental value, good adaptability, and remarkable blooms.

The Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Blue Rose’ develops compact to semi-open rosettes, with narrow, firm, and slightly arched leaves, ranging from green to grayish-green, forming a balanced and decorative plant.

Its growth is moderate to fast, and it pups easily, forming dense clumps over time.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops an inflorescence with pink or reddish bracts and tubular flowers in intense blue-violet tones, with slight variations depending on the clone.

Thanks to its floral coloration and ease of cultivation, the Tillandsia ‘Holm’s Blue Rose’ is ideal for collections, open terrariums, air plant arrangements, or mounting on wood and cork, where it provides color contrast.
