Description
Guzmania 'Limones' is a bromeliad that will bring a touch of tropical flamboyance into your home. Its red and yellow flower spike rises from a beautiful cluster of green leaves with a purplish base. This exotic and colourful variety enhances contemporary, bohemian, or tropical decor. It requires bright light, away from direct sunlight, and good ambient humidity.
Guzmania 'Limones' is a tropical perennial plant, belonging to the Bromeliaceae family. It is a cousin of Aechmea and Vriesea. This variety is characterised by its soft rosette habit, composed of long, linear, arching, pointed leaves. These leaves, arranged in a spiral, typically measure between 40 and 50 cm in length and 2 to 3 cm in width. They are smooth and bright green, tinged with purple at the base. The mature plant reaches a total height of 50 to 70 cm, including flowers, and has a diameter of about 40 cm when fully developed. This variety of Guzmania is semelparous, meaning the rosette dies after producing its spectacular inflorescence, but it can form offsets (growing at the base) that allow the plant to regenerate. At the heart of the rosette, a bicoloured inflorescence develops. The red bracts are modified leaves that surround small yellow tubular flowers grouped into balls. Flowering occurs after 12 to 16 months of cultivation and lasts between 12 and 14 weeks.
The Guzmania genus includes around 120 species of epiphytic plants native to the humid tropical forests of Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. These plants thrive in the forest canopy, where they capture moisture from the air and collect rainwater in the heart of their rosette. The genus name honours the Spanish naturalist Anastasio Guzmán, who studied South American biodiversity in the 18th century.
Guzmania 'Limones' fits perfectly into modern, minimalist, or exotic-style interiors. To highlight its habit and colours, pair it with plants with dense and contrasting foliage, such as Dracaenas or Philodendron 'Brasil', which enjoy similar conditions in terms of light and humidity.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
