Deuterocohnia 130mm

Deuterocohnia – Hardy Mountain Bromeliad for Rock Gardens & Collectors

Deuterocohnia is a fascinating genus of hardy succulents from the Bromeliaceae family, native to the rocky, high-altitude regions of South America. These rugged plants form compact rosettes of stiff, spiny leaves in tones of green, grey, and bronze, often dusted with silvery scales that shimmer in sunlight. Over time, they create dense clumps or mats, adding striking texture and structure to any arid or minimalist landscape.

Exceptionally tough and drought-tolerant, Deuterocohnia thrives in full sun, rocky outcrops, and sandy, well-draining soil. Its ability to withstand extreme heat, wind, and even frost makes it a perfect choice for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and outdoor containers.

In spring or summer, the plant produces small, tubular blooms in shades of green, yellow, or white, adding a subtle but elegant display that attracts pollinators.

Low-maintenance and slow-growing, Deuterocohnia rewards patience with its architectural form and resilience — an ideal plant for collectors and gardeners who appreciate unique, sculptural species that thrive on neglect.

✅ Perfect for rock gardens, sun-drenched patios, and drought-tolerant landscapes.
✅ Thrives on minimal water and care.
✅ Rare and highly ornamental for collectors.
