Portea kermesina
Portea kermesina is another of the winter-blooming bromeliads. The flower spikes emerge in early winter, and will keep good color for about 3 months.
The plants are fairly large, growing about 30 inches wide and almost as tall. Although the plant is somewhat cold-hardy, the foliage can be damaged by frost. Planting under a tree canopy or other protected area is advisable.
