Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Pale Ryder' has long, succulent, silver white leaves with fabulously ferocious teeth. Dyckia are the most cold tolerant of the Bromeliad family. They are drought tolerant but thrive on frequent watering during the active growing season. Keep plants on the dry side during cold weather. Grow outdoors under cover in coastal BC or as a pot specimen that becomes a winter houseplant elsewhere.
