This is a widespread species found from Peru to Bolivia and Brazil. We have several slightly different clones in our collection, each with different characteristics. This particular one is our largest and most prolific, reaching up to 18 inches across, it has silvery-green leaves. A nice feature is that it offsets freely and blooms faithfully with a tall, branched inflorescence up almost 4 feet tall, with bright yellow flowers. As is characteristic with Deuterocohnia, the inflorescence persists after anthesis to bloom again in successive years.
