Vriesea are prized for their form, foliage and flowers. Vriesea is also a large and diverse family of plants. Some have graceful rosettes of soft green leaves and the most striking and beautiful long lasting flowers. Others have spectacular coloured and intricately patterned leaves and are extremely sought after.
They vary greatly in size too, from miniatures growing to only 15 cm in diameter to giants of 1.5 metre in height and diameter. In their natural habitat they can be found growing as terrestrials or mostly as epiphytes.
Vriesea grow very well indoors and make excellent house plants. They are magnificent plants for containers and will enhance any partially shaded outdoor living area.
