The Bromeliad growers here are probably very familiar with Neoregelia 'Fireball'.
If you were to tell someone not familiar with 'Fireball' what would your description detail be in your own words.
Waiting to hear 🤔

Sherri, I messed up the question.
I went back and edited my original post.
Thanks

I would first list its attributes and make up a description from there.

Modest size, 6" with 12" width at maturity
Full Sun for best red color
Stoloniferous and multiplies well
Hardiness zones 8 - 11
Suitable for a hanging basket

Fireball is a small to medium bromeliad that turns brilliant red in bright light. Its stoloniferous nature allows it to multiply easily forming a brilliant red clump suitable for a hanging basket or even as a ground cover. Its modest size 6" to 12" at maturity, makes it an excellent candidate for container growing. Fireball is hardy in zones 8 - 10.

I have a bit of redundancy there but you get the idea.
Minds are like parachutes; they work better when they are open.

I'd also mention it is great for mounting, especially to a tree.
