{"product_id":"fascicularia-bicolor","title":"Fascicularia Bicolor","description":"\u003ch1\u003eFascicularia bicolor\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA terrestrial bromeliad, forming rosettes of slender, rigid, spiny-toothed leaves. Towards the end of Summer the bases of the leaves on mature plants begin to turn red and after a few weeks most of the leaf becomes bright crimson. A bud then forms in the center of this rosette which opens into a pale-blue flower, offering a striking colour combination in the Autumn garden!\u003cbr\u003eGood drainage is essential, so dig in lots of grit or ideally you should grow Fascicularia bicolor in a raised bed or on well drained, sunny bank. Don't enrich your soil as this will encourage lots of leaves and few flowers. After flowering the rosettes begin to die but new ones quickly form from the base. Pull away the dead foliage to prevent disease spreading from the rotting leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefers poor, sharply drained soil in full sun. Dislikes excessive winter wet. Regarded as tender, but survives outdoors in mild Irish gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSite: \u003c\/b\u003eTolerates salt in a sheltered spot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil:\u003c\/b\u003e Must be well drained, poor soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition: \u003c\/b\u003eFull sun \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeason of Interest:\u003c\/b\u003e Evergreen, unusual flowers in Autumn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/b\u003e - 2°C  Protect plants from the cold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeight: \u003c\/b\u003e 1.5ft (50cm)  \u003cb\u003eSpread:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.5ft (50cm)  mature plants can grow larger in ideal conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Pot | 2L","offer_id":48736531415297,"sku":"ZNV0D 1548031000610","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pot 2.25L","offer_id":48736531448065,"sku":"ZNV0D 1548031000610-2","price":8.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0818\/1540\/4801\/files\/Fasicularia_Bicolour.jpg?v=1777967431","url":"https:\/\/futureforests-us.com\/products\/fascicularia-bicolor","provider":"Future-Forests","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
