Cryptbergia 'Red Burst' - An intergeneric bromeliad hybrid that is a cross between Billbergia nutans x Cryptanthus bahianus. It forms rosettes of flattened 8-12" long pointed green/bronzy-red leaves - color intensifies in bright light. Small white flowers emerge occasionally from the center cup. This plant spreads freely to form dense large clumps. Plant in bright shade, part sun and coastal full sun (best in light shade) and water regularly. Hardy to 26 F. This plant was received as x Cryptbergia rubra but this apparently is a synonym for Cryptbergia 'Red Burst'.
