Tillandsia Ionantha Druid bushy

Tillandsia ionantha ‘Druid’ is a rare and highly attractive cultivar of Tillandsia ionantha, admired for its soft, peach-yellow blush instead of the typical red seen in standard ionanthas. The plant forms a compact, bushy rosette of silvery-green leaves that turn warm golden tones as it approaches bloom. When flowering, it produces delicate yellow tubular flowers, making it especially desirable for collectors and decorative displays.
