These intriguing Bromeliads have the rather romantic common name of Earth Star! Grown for their star-shaped form and tapering, colourful leaves with sharply-toothed edges, which form a neat rosette of foliage.
Cryptanthus bivittatus 'Pink Starlight' is a colourful variety of the Earth Star or Starfish Plant, as it is better known. The tapering foliage is variegated bronze and pink when young, before slowly maturing to dark olive green and pink.
