Billbergia nutans – Queen’s Tears

One of the most charming and easy-to-grow bromeliads, Billbergia nutans earns its common name from the way its pendant flower clusters seem to weep with color — vivid purple-blue petals edged in lime green dangle gracefully from arching stems in spring and summer. An excellent container plant, border accent, and cut flower, it thrives in semi-shaded spots and rewards minimal care with reliable, exotic blooms year after year.
