Pitcairnia ringens Seeds
Fresh Seeds for 2026/27!
Rarely are seeds offered for this wonderful species! Originally from Mexico, this beautiful terrestrial Bromeliad offers vases of soft, spineless (except at the very base of the plant), grass-like foliage and tall, conspicuous spikes of intense orange-red flowers in spring or summer. Naturally growing in warmer conditions in moderately shady areas, it will accept cooler conditions, even down to the upper 30s with protection. Though it prefers some warmth, it does not like to go above 90, and it never wants to dry out. The nectar-laden flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and on well-grown plants, can attain heights of 3\'. May be grown indoors or outside in temperate climates, in moist, humus-rich soils. When grown outdoors, the plants will form large clumps; making a dramatic statement in the landscape.
One packet contains 100 +/- freshly harvested, fine, thread-like seeds - as may be seen in the photos. Detailed sowing instructions are included.
Please note: The seeds are fresh and viable - success in their germination is up to you - and will be achieved by carefully following the instructions included with your seeds. (The pictures are: seeds shown for their size, the seeds freshly sown, and the seeds germinating.)Sowing seeds requires cleanliness, practice and patience, and frequently have specific requirements and pretreatments. There is a learning curve. I say this because people generally blame the seeds or the seller for a failure in germination, when, in actuality, it is generally because of the one doing the sowing... With that said, I wish you the best of luck with the seeds, and if you have any questions with getting them started, please feel free to contact me.
I\'ve been growing and collecting rare and exotic plants for over 50 years and sowing seeds has been a specialty. Most of the trees and shrubs that are growing in my garden have been started from seeds; there is something very satisfying about that.
All photos are of plants in my own collection - unless stated otherwise.
