Tillandsia Aeranthos x Holm's Star Rose

Tillandsia Aeranthos × Holm´s Star Rose 

The Tillandsia Aeranthos × Holm´s Star Rose is an attractive ornamental hybrid belonging to the Bromeliaceae family, which combines the hardiness of Tillandsia Aeranthos with the spectacular flowering of the Holm´s Star Rose hybrid.

The Holm´s Star Rose hybrid is the result of a cross between Tillandsia (Stricta Green × Stricta Hart) and Tillandsia Tenuifolia, which provides this plant with highly ornamental characteristics such as intense pink inflorescences and very showy violet flowers.

Thanks to this complex genetic combination, the Tillandsia Aeranthos × Holm´s Star Rose brings together very interesting qualities:
the hardiness and adaptability of Aeranthos, along with the compact structure and intense flowering inherited from the Stricta and Tenuifolia varieties.

The plant develops compact rosettes of narrow, greyish-green leaves, covered by trichomes that allow it to absorb moisture directly from the air. Over time, it usually produces pups, forming small, highly decorative clumps.

During the flowering season, generally in spring or summer, it develops a very ornamental pink inflorescence from which violet tubular flowers emerge, creating a highly attractive contrast.

Thanks to its hardiness and ornamental value, the Tillandsia Aeranthos × Holm´s Star Rose is an ideal plant for open terrariums, vertical gardens, air plant arrangements, or mountings on wood, cork, or stone.
