Cryptanthus ‘Jennifer’ is a cross of ‘High ‘N Mighty’ x ‘Hawaiian Beauty’ unreg. This bromeliad hybrid attains pleasing green and red tones with a smidgen of silver scurfing towards the leaf base.
I acquired this as an offset for a raffle prize at a society meeting (donated by Terri Bert). I didn’t regard this much at the time, ignoring it for several months. Then during spring clean-up I noticed it had come through the winter with surprising hardiness having doubled in size, showing much improved coloration. ‘Time, just takes time’.
