Please share any full sun bromeliads you have grown.
Aechmea blanchetiana has done really well on my hot deck.

Aechemea 'Red Candles' is a new one that did really well for me last summer. It does bleach out to more of an orange than red with full afternoon sun though.

I bought this Alcantarea Imperialis in 2017 for full sun but I have discovered it does not care for the heat in the end of summer temps on my deck. I was a little disappointed that I have to have it a little more sheltered from afternoon sun.

Lava Burst Ananas is pretty good with full sun also.

I would love to find something with a lot of purple coloration that can take sun if anyone has any ideas. I am also considering a tiger type but have not decided what one I like the best.
