Vriesea
imperialis is truthfully one of the largest bromeliads of the world,
reacing a height of 1,2 m tall in foliage, although it can take up to
ten years to get to this size. It eventually bears a sturdy red flower
stalk lined with clusters of ivory flowers up to 3-5 m tall when fully
mature. The long-lasting flower stalk is very showy and resembles an
ornate, upright chandelier. Vriesea imperialis is the most regal and is
considered the signature species of this genus.
Stem: Very short, stocky and woody.
