Zebra-Leaf Earth-Star is a plant forming a rosette of
mid-green leaves with irregular zebra-like white cross bands. It
occasionally produces a succession of white star like blooms from the
center of the plant. This plant can be grown in mixed container gardens
for a striking color and texture contrast. Cryptanthus are one of the
easiest terrestrial bromeliads to grow. Zebra-Leaf Earth-Star is
endemic to Brazil.
