Tillandsia are perennial plants that typically remain green year-round and are frequently found growing on other surfaces (epiphytic). They develop rosettes consisting of tough, narrow leaves that can be linear or strap-like. Their flowers can be tubular or funnel-shaped, appearing either in spikes with notable bracts arranged in two ranks or as single, less noticeable blooms.
