Tillandsia latifolia v. latifolia is a mesmeric perennial, part of the Bromeliaceae family, known widely as the Latifolia Airplant. Its uncanny ability to stretch up to an impressive height of two feet and its unique rosette leaf formation make it an intriguing centerpiece for any space. The slender, sturdy leaves, rich in their silver-green hue, dramatically shift to an alluring purple-red during its bloom. The late summer bloom unveils a cylindrical inflorescence that sprouts regal purple flowers—an exquisite contrast against its foliage.
