Yet unnamed, this Sharon Petersen hybrid of Dyckia choristaminea and an unreported other Dyckia as pollen parent is a smaller grower. Compact rosettes of narrow, bronze/red leaves dusted with silvery white scurffing are about six inches across when mature. The leaves, though narrow, are wider than the choristaminea parent, at about a quarter inch.

A beautiful undescribed species that has been in cultivation for some years with the name fragrans, unofficial but long accepted. Uniformly bronze colored with stiff, arching leaves in a 20 inch rosette, produces a simple spike of yellow fragrant flowers. A stunningly handsome plant. A prolific and easy plant to grow, thriving in full sun.

A hybrid from our friend Bob Spivey in Louisiana. We don’t know what Bob was after when he made this cross, but he sure got a dukes mixture of colors and shapes. 

A medium size growing terrestrial bromeliad. Maturing at 10 inches across, narrow tapering green leaves that are covered with silver white scurf. Grows best in bright light to full sun. Like most Dyckias it prefers to be watered weekly during the dry hot weather.

A dense rosette of glossy, coppery to chestnut-brown recurving leaves and marginal spines. We are offering a select seedling from the grex. Dyckias prefer to be grown in bright light to full sun.

This is a spectacular, large-growing species, descended from plants grown from seed collected by Wally Berg on Pico do Fernando, Bahia, Brazil. The plants have hundreds of narrow, strap-like, spiny leaves at maturity, recurving downward to form a graceful ball-like shape. Encholirium species grow much like the genus Dyckia, enjoying water in the growing season and a rest in cooler weather.

Can grow in filtered light or full sun. This species is monocarpic or occasionally making one or two offsets. The bloom spike can reach 4 feet in height and branches out, the flowers are large for bromeliads, with green bracts and petals filled with a pungent, sticky fluid, possibly to attract pollinators; bats have been seen pollinating this plant.
