Callisia fragrans, commonly known as the Basket Plant or the Fragrant Inch Plant, is a species of the genus Callisia in the family Commelinaceae. This perennial, evergreen plant is known for its attractive foliage and sweet, vanilla-like fragrance, especially noticeable in the evening.

Physically, Callisia fragrans exhibits a rosette of waxy, lance-shaped leaves that are rich green in color, sometimes with a purplish underside. The plant produces small, white or yellowish flowers, but its main appeal lies in the lush, dense foliage it maintains year-round. It grows well in hanging baskets or as a groundcover, where its stems tend to trail or spread gracefully.

In terms of care, Callisia fragrans prefers bright, indirect sunlight and a well-draining soil mix. It's relatively low-maintenance, requiring regular watering but is tolerant of occasional dry periods. This plant is also reputed for its medicinal properties, with some cultures using it in traditional remedies.
