This eye-catching duo plays homage to straight and curved lines. They're both easy houseplants for bright, indirect light and look great together day in and day out in matching cream pots.

A striped version of the Cretan Brake Fern, Pteris cretica var. albolineata is one of the most elegant of indoor plants. Each arching frond is split into pewter fingers traced in green. Winner of an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

The leaves of Tradescantia zebrina var. discolor are streaked with cream, pink, and green and give a fresh, dapper look to this choice cultivar of a common houseplant. Clusters of purple-pink flowers borne intermittently year-round are a welcome bonus.

One of each variety, sent in 4 1/2-inch, cream ceramic pots with attached saucers. Full instructions for care included.
