Curly Spider Plant

​Curly Spider Plant 
Common Name: ‘Bonnie’ aka Spider Plant or Airplane plant
Botanical Name: Chlorophytum comosum
Family: Antheriaceae formerly Liliaceae.
Cold Hardiness: Root hardy in USDA zones 9 (8b) to 11
 
Curved cascading plant with green leaves that have white stripes along the edges.  It produces numerous plantlets that are easily potted to produce new plants.  The variety I have is Bonnie (pictured) which has curly leaves.  Can be grown in filtered sun in pots, hanging baskets or in the ground although foliage will freeze (it will usually come back in the spring).  It can also be grown as a houseplant.  This plant has high heat tolerance and medium water requirements.
