Dyckia 'Black Gold' - This terrestrial bromeliad has rosettes of spine-margined blackish-purple leaves that are silver on the lower surface. Unlike the other dark foliage Dyckia we grow, which have deeper orange colored flowers, this plant has golden yellow flowers that rise on a thin slightly-branched inflorescence to 2 feet above the foliage. Plant in bright light (full sun best along coast) to enhance the dark color. Give good drainage and occasional to very little irrigation. This plant came to us unnamed from a Santa Barbara gardener and to keep it separate from other Dyckia we grow we named it 'Black Gold' because of its dark foliage and unique flower color.
Information displayed on this page is based on the research conducted about this plant in our library and from reliable online resources. We also note those observations we have made of this plant as it is growing in the nursery's garden and in other gardens, as well how it has performed in the crops out in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others, and welcome to hear from anyone who may have additional information, particularly if they have knowledge of cultural information we do not mention that would aid others in growing Dyckia 'Black Gold'.
