There are 16 native Bromeliads to Florida including many species of the beautiful silver Tillandsia that you see nestled to the tree limbs everywhere you go.
Bromeliad Hybrids are not only a low maintenance plant for warmer areas of Florida they are a Florida-Friendly plant! There are so many colorful variations and they come in a wide array of sizes, some of them youll find attatched to the forest canopy and some of them are ground plants like the pineapple plant. All of them are beautiful and here in NE Florida they can be a little more difficult to place in the landscape. You will need to assess your landscape for frost free zones in the winter time. Next time there is frost on your windshield, take a quick look around the yard for where the frost line is. Plant your Bromeliads in the shady areas of that frost free zone for the best winter protection!
