ellionia is a pretty foliage plant that is suited to hanging baskets. Native to South-East Asia, especially to Vietnam, Burma, the Malaysian Peninsula and Polynesia, Pellionia was first cultivated in the early twentieth century. The plants are named in honour of a young French naval officer, A.M.J. Alphonse Pellio (1795— 1868), a member of the French voyage of discovery headed by Louis Freycinet.
Grown for its handsome foliage, Pellionia is a low, bushy plant with pretty, marbled leaves. Some varieties produce small, insignificant flowers in the summer, but they sap energy and nourishment from the leaves, so it is best to pinch them out. The long trailing stems grow with great vigour, and the veined leaves appear in a flat plane opposite each other along the length of the stem. If the stems grow straggly in the summer, pinch them back.
