Neoregelia 'Plum Colossal' Size:6-inch pot The inflorescence is spectacularA super nice big plant that has what it takes to be a spectacular plant. The rosette is made up of wide overlapping leaves with a overall width of 20 inches. The medium green colored leaves have white margins and numerous spots of white. At a young age a purple veneer overlays the leaves. The veneer is noticeable on both sides of the leaves. (The pictures show the plant to be more red than purple but it is purple)
