Common names: Silver Star or Grey Star.
The Ctenanthe setosa is an evergreen perennial originating from Central and South America. It has long, rectangular shaped grey leaves with a striped pattern on the top side of the leaf and a beautiful purple on the underside. They are a fantastic plant because of their low maintenance requirements and the mature plants are excellent performers. Position in a partial to shaded position in your garden. If you have it indoors ensure there is good filtered light. They do best in well-draining soil. Water when the top layer so soil starts to dry.
