Description
‘Rosita’ is a named clone of Tillandsia ionantha var. stricta — a compact, pin-cushion ionantha prized for the strong color it develops as it comes into bloom.
Key Characteristics
- Origins: A selected clone of Tillandsia ionantha var. stricta, a species native to Mexico and Central America.
- Appearance: Small and narrow-leaved, forming a tidy rosette that blushes from pink toward scarlet as it approaches flowering; with good light it can hold color for much of the year.
- Flowers: Small tubular purple-violet flowers emerge from the center of the rosette.
- Cultivation: Hardy and forgiving, like all ionanthas, and quick to pup into clumps.
