Billbergia 'Foster's Striate'

Hi Marlene,

I have a similar plant and find it looksgood if allowed to clump up in the garden.

All the best, Nev.

This used to be called Billbergia pyramidalis var. striate. Now its Billbergia ÂFosters striate.
Occasional in some clumps a golden sport grows and this is called 'Gloria'.

Here is a photo of one of mine that has turned into a 'Gloria'. The last 4 leaves have lost their variagation and are a golden colour

I spotted a big clump in a neighbours front garden the other day, so it must be quite cold tolerant.
