This is a form of aeranthos that is quite different than most. It is big, bigger by quite a bit from any other form we have seen. The leaves are narrowly triangular, about 4 inches long, dark gray and very stiff. In inflorescence is stout, light pink, silvery with light blue flowers. We do not know the exact wild origins, but typically aeranthos is found in the ‘southern cone’ countries of South America. The picture tells the story, it’s a big beauty!
A choice hybrid from Mark Dimmit is an unusual cross of (roseoscapa x bulbosa). Taking characteristics of both parents, it has an upright vase shape with a somewhat bulbous base. Grown 'hard' the bulbous base is more pronounced. The leaves are many, semi-terete, slightly undulating and green with a light gray scurf. The inflorescence is tall with long, leaf-like scape bracts that blush pink and a cluster of six or so fairly long, upright pink branches. Flowers are light blue. Easy to grow and long lasting in color.Text
A large growing and spectacular hybrid by John Arden is a cultivar of (jalisco monticola x roland-gosselinii). A graceful, arching rosette of narrow, silvery leaves, reaching over 24 inches in diameter. The inflorescence is a tall scape to over 2 feet tall, with a cluster of inflated branches, red on the bottom becoming green on top. Very showy and long lasting in bloom.
A newer cyanea hybrid. Grows to a height of 16 inches. The inflorescence is a bright pink lavender paddle like shape. The flowers are fragrant. Grows best potted
