Dyckia x 'Nickel Silver' is a rare gem in the Cacti & Succulents family that effortlessly combines exotic allure with easy-care practicality. From Brazil to your yard, this terrestrial Bromeliad cultivar boasts densely packed rosettes of silver-gray, needle-like leaves, which grow to a substantial size of 12 inches high and wide. The tough, sharply pointed foliage, dipped in a hint of burgundy at the edges, personifies an intriguing visual contrast that confirms its appeal. But, the best is yet to come. In the warmth of late spring or early summer, the Nickel Silver Bromeliad steals the show with its bright orange-red blooms.
