Biggest bromeliads available?
8 years ago
Might be the genus Mezobromelia. My largest is 6' feet across and 5' high. Very understanding, 20 years old in a 5 gallon pot.

8 years agoHere are some Alcantarea imperialis, and the flower stalks get to be over ten feet high. Photo from Teresopolis, Brazil.
Here's another large one at the Bromeliarium in Rio.
View from front. I could not locate a name tag on this one.

It's not available, but the Puya Raimondii is supposed to be the biggest.
You might be able to buy seeds on eBay.
