Bromeliads are used as indoor and landscape plants. They are epiphytes and the many types have striking foliage colours and others are grown for their colourful and long lived flowers. Decorative and hardy, bromeliads add a splash of colour to any living space. They have striking and attractive flowers which can last up to three months in a range of colours including orange, pink, red, purple and yellow. The wide fleshy leaves are often variegated.
