Houseplants clean indoor air better and more efficiently than
any machine, and they're so much prettier to look at.

Aeonium arboreum 'Zwartkop'
Grow in full sun to light shade Plants can grow to 3' tall and 2' wide. Originates from Morocco. Large, dark rusty-purple rosettes at branch tips make this a wonderful succulent for trough gardens and containers, but can be planted as an annual in the ground. Try some in a low bowl with blue fescue and 'Anjelina' sedum for a color/texture extravaganza!

Agave sebastiana 'Baja'
From northern Baja, California, this rare and unusual plant will make an excellent container plant with thick blue spiky foliage. Another fantastic foliage plant from VVN for spectacular container creations!

Airplane plant, spider plant
A cliche' of the 70s, this variegated, grassy textured houseplant is underused today in combinations! Easy to grow under most conditions, and an effortless contrast foliage. We've even planted big beds with tropical garden themes with excellent results.

Asparagus sprengeri (asparagus fern)
A classic filler foliage plant and excellent easy-to-grow houseplant. It's light, airy look complements any other plant.

Asparagus meyersi (foxtail fern)
The same fine textured foliage of A. sprengeri, but the offshoot branches off main stems stay short giving the plant the look of having green tails growing from the ground.

Begonia 'Anthole'
Huge velvety green leaves with reddish underlay spiral open from the center of the plant. Small white flower clusters rise above the dramatic foliage on wiry stems. Excellent in containers and hanging baskets. Allow plants to dry out between waterings.

Begonia 'Silver Dragon'
Dragonwings of dark green with a silver veil overlay. Light pink blooms appear continuously during the growing season, the stop for the winter. Excellent in containers, this beonia has an upright habit, growing up to 30" tall or more. Allow plants to dry out between waterings.

Cordyline 'Red Sensation'
Spiky, deep burgundy foliage makes a great house plant in winter, and can be moved outdoors for patio and porch through the summer months.

Crassula 'Campfire'
Low-growing 6" tall to 2-3' tall wide succulent, colorful gold and scarlet foliage is topped with clusters of white flowers in summer. It does best in part sun and requires shade in hotter sites. Beautiful in succelent combo containers with grasses.

Crassula 'Lizard's Tail' (watch chain, rattail crassula)
African succulent with rough textured green foliage that resembles a small conifer. Prefers partial shade and well drained soil. Excellent in mixed succulent combo planters.

Cyperus papyrus'Egyptian' (papyrus)
Bog-loving papyrus can be grown in a bowl on porch or patio, then brought indoors for the cold season. Tall plumes make dramatic decoration. Water should be changed out monthly to prevent odor.

Ensete maurelii (banana tree)
A non-hardy banana tree for indoors, and patios during summer. This cultivar's foliage is edged in burgundy.

Euphorbia caracasana
A non-hardy euphorbia, related to our perennial Euphorbias as well as the holiday poinsettia plant. Wonderful copper-purple leaves make excellent container plants, growing 24-36" high in our greenhouse.

Ficus benjamina (fig tree)
Glossy green foliage covers this graceful, large-growing tree year round when brought indoors to overwinter. A very pretty tropical foliage plant.

Jacobinia
This South American tropical makes a continuous display of pink flowers all year. Plants should be kept in shade through the summer, then an eastern or low light area indoors for the winter. Water regularly. They'll grow 3-4' high and wide, but should be cut back in spring to keep the form neat. Flower attract hummingbirds in summer.

Ledebouria socialis 'Violacea'
The fleshy pointed-tipped leaves of this short (under 12") bulb are bright gray purple with green blotches above; the underside is all purple. On stalks 20-25 small flowers have greenish petals with white markings and purple stamens. Only water when in leaf; it goes semi-dormant during the summer.

Meuhlenbeckia (angel ivy, wire vine)
This vigorous little plant makes a wonderful filler and foliage contrast plant in combo baskets and planters. Wire vine also makes a great topiary frame plant, and miniature fairy garden subject. Try some in the ground as a filler around annuals and perennials.

Nashia inaguensis (Mojean tea)
A native of the Bahamas that's used to add vanilla flavor to tea. An excellent bonsai subject with small leaves and tiny white flowers. Plants grow 2-3' tall and wide. This non-hardy Zone 8 herb must be grown in a pot and brought indoors for the winter.

Norfolk Island pine (Araucaria heterophylla)
Popular tree kept indoors easily from year to year. Fine needles are short, and branches are eas to trim as needed to keep in shape. Pest-free and not picky about water or light.

Sanchezia speciosa 'Ellen'
A 6-8' semiwoody evergreen shrub with smooth bright green or purple stems, large variegated leaves and colorful flowers. Leaves grow up to a foot in length, opposite on the stems and marked with prominent, well defined yellow or ivory veins. The tubular flowers are yellow with red bracts, about 2" long. In tropical climates, sanchezia blooms throughout most of the year. Sanchezia speciosa is native to northeastern Peru and Equador, where it grows in the humid understory of tropical rainforests, so plants should be placed where they can receive light, dappled shade. While they don't tolerate full sun, bright indirect light is best to bring out variegated foliage. Sanchezia needs a lot of water, so keep soil moderately moist through the growing season. Reduce water in winter. In the house or greenhouse, sanchezia will do best in a humid atmosphere.

Sansevieria trifasciata (mother-in-law's tongue)
This is perhaps the most indestructable houseplant on the entire planet. Perfect for that place that needs some green, but just doesn't have light or other necessary conditions. Also nice as a tall, spiky element in a combination planter.

Stromanthe sanguinea 'Triostar'
A colorful houseplant that moves through the day, following the sunlight. This Brazilian plant must be allowed to dry out between waterings while indoors in winter, and will thrive when moved outdoors for the summer months. Plants grow 20-24" tall and around. Keep in bright but indirect light. Plants will sunburn easily, whether indoors or out.
