What are Bromeliads?

Bromeliads (pronounced BROM-MEEL-EE-ADS) are a large group of plants, comprising of well over 2,000 species and hundreds of hybrids. They originate in the Americas having a large range extending from the deserts of Mexico to the rainforests of South America. Plants vary in size from small Tillandsias no bigger than the tip of your finger to large Puya and Vrieseas sometimes more than 2 metres across. This large and fascinating range provides growers with plants for every location in the home, garden, shadehouse or glass-house environment.
