Aechmea 'Candy Cane' Size:Offset contorted leaves that form rosettesLisa Vinzant s cross of two forms of Aechmea nudicaulis. A nice dark red background color with many silver white bands. The leaves are 1. 25 inches wide with margins that have black spines. This plant grows to about a foot tall and forms nice clusters on short, stout stolons.
