A beautifully variegated form of 'Little Harv' is nothing short of spectacular and is in high demand whenever offered. A large grower that can reach well over three feet tall, with broad, silvery leaves in an upright rosette. Each leaf has broad creamy-white variegation and this in combination with it's size, makes this a standout in any application. The inflorescence is chantinii-like with coral-yellow branches and large showy bracts. Popular for landscape where it prefers partial sun but can adapt to full sun and makes a spectacular interiorscape specimen. This is a patented variety.

Love these bromeliads. I have a couple already but needed more.. lol
Tropiflora is your go to for amazing bromeliads.
I like Harvey's pride so much I had to have this one that would also tolerate more sun.

A rarely seen, huge-growing bromeliad from the resting of eastern Brazil. Formerly known as Streptocalyx floribunda, this species is a rare sight in collections. Much sought for use in landscape, especially in botanical gardens and zoos, it is spectacular in or out of bloom.
The inflorescence is massive, mostly green, reaching eight feet tall or more. The leaves are stiff and very wide, up to ten inches across, light green with silver banding below and with moderately sized but very sharp spines. Easily reaching over six feet high and eight feet across, this is definitely not for the hobby greenhouse! Obviously we ship only offsets.
NO HOLDING - MUST SHIP IMMEDIATELY
Looks like a great offset. I live in an area of SoCal where the winter nights get quite cold but never freeze. I'd appreciate any tips from anybody growing this bromeliad in a similar climate. Tropiflora Nursery is great.
