Grower’s Note
A classic Skotak hybrid and a staple plant for any serious Neoregelia collector. ‘Optimus Prime’ matures to approximately 16 inches across, forming a bold rosette with green leaves, creamy white central striping, and strong red cross-banding.
This hybrid has that unmistakable high-contrast Skotak look, with excellent patterning and collector pedigree. Grex siblings include Neo. ‘Highlander’ and Neo. ‘Angry Bird’.
Seed parent: (carolinae variegated x Hannibal Lecter) x Norman Bates
Pollen parent: Skotak’s Tiger
