Dyckias are the bromeliads that left the forest canopy for sun-baked rock. ‘Red Devil’ colors deepest in strong light, its rosettes armed along every margin with hooked teeth, and it builds steadily into a dense clump of offsets.
Ships bare-root. Pot it in a gritty mix and water normally once new roots take hold.
