Aechmea Del Mar
Aechmea Del Mar is a rare and striking intermediate to warm-growing bromeliad hybrid from the Bromeliaceae family, and a new arrival to Ecuagenera’s collection. Its name — "Del Mar" (Spanish for "of the sea") — evokes the vivid, jewel-like colors of the ocean: the kind of deep blues, purples, and corals that characterize the most spectacular Aechmea inflorescences. With the bold architectural rosette form that makes Aechmea bromeliads so immediately recognizable, and a flower spike that delivers months of ornamental color, Del Mar is a hybrid that brings both structure and spectacle to any tropical collection.
