DURATII, 8-11″

The Duratii, native to various regions in South America, is one of our favorite air plants. It is one of the very few specimens with fragrant flowers – a true rarity among tillandsia. At its base, its silvery green leaves wrap around the next highest point. Duratii also can grow to a very large size over time, sometimes in excess of 3’. On top of this, it displays an impressive, long-lasting inflourescence that can reach up to 2’ in length with small, purple flowers up the stem. This plant prefers a very bright environment.
