They are seasonal bloomers and can grow to a height of 3-10 feet and spread about 3-7 feet. This plant species contains bracts which can vary in color from red, orange, pale green, cream, pink, white, to marbled. However, those bracts are sometimes highly mistaken for flower petals when in actuality they are leaves. It is easy to mistake them because of the grouping of this bracts and the vibrant colors they display. During the day they require a lot of light for the brightest color. Some primary regions of Mexico in which it is native to is in the wild in the deciduous tropical forests. This type of plant is also mostly seen during the festivities time of winter. They have long been seen as a decoration during Christmas time. This is one of the reason I choose this to be my plant species since it’s a plant I have also seen during festivities and it reminds me of home.
