Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Neoregelia ‘Raphael’ is a large Bromeliad with colorful, broad, stiff, arching leaves forming an upright rosette. Beautiful vivid red center leaves contrast to the green outer leaves edged in creamy white. Epiphytic Bromeliads prefer a well-drained, moist sphagnum soil with regular watering and high humidity. Apply a slow release fertilizer in Spring when active growth starts. Slow growing, it will form a colony by offsetting pups. A beautiful accent plant for the home in containers. Protect from frost!
