Sold By: Plantskenya Marketplace

A tropical sculptural herbaceous perennial plant that works well in containers but must be brought inside during cold winters.  Works well as a houseplant.  Desired for its unusual inflorescence and attractive foliage. Look for the purple underside of the leaf and the unusual bract-enclosed flowers to distinguish this plant from bromeliads.

Plant in a peat-based potting soil and give it plenty of bright light. If kept outdoors in the summer provide it with afternoon shade. Allow the top 1-2 inches to dry out between waterings and cut back on the water during the winter months.
