This unique plant looks like a bromeliad but is actually related to the Wandering Jew family. Beautiful in hanging baskets, this tender tropical continually produces new plants at the end of 1 to 2 foot long hanging stems - much like a spider plant does. It flowers in early spring with very fragrant white flowers on long arching spikes.

Beautiful green rubbery foliage that thrives in shade but will be streaked with purple when placed in partial sun. Hardy zone 9 and above and can be used as a groundcover. Makes a great houseplant in cooler areas.

Studied for years in Russia as a source for holistic therapies for many different ailments ranging from upset stomachs to burns and other skin ailments, to cancer. I can't find any sites in English with this information, only this site, which is in Russian: http://www.callisia.org/ .
