Hohenbergia stellata is a perennial species of the genus Hohenbergia. As part of the family Bromeliaceae, it belongs to a wide range of tropical and subtropical plant species. Like many other Bromeliads, such as the Pineapple, the Hohenbergia stellata exhibits sharp spines in its bloom. Blooms are a purple-red color and are present along the plant's strong stem, which grows 2–3 feet.[1]
Some research indicates that the Hohenbergia stellata may actually belong to the genus Aechmea.[2]
