Description
These attractive plants are perennial herbs with stout or reedlike stems. The simple banana-like leaves sometimes show a coppery sheen, and the midrib may be ivory and pink. The colorful inflorescence is formed of waxy bracts that alternate in a single plane and support the numerous small flowers. The inflorescences may be hanging or erect. The flowers themselves can be red, orange, yellow, or green and are usually pollinated by hummingbirds. The fruits are blue to blue-purple when ripe.
