Recently, many dark energy models whose equation-of-state parameter can
cross the phantom divide $w_{de}=-1$ have been proposed. In a previous paper
[Class. Quant. Grav. {\bf 22}, 3189 (2005); hep-th/0501160], we suggest such
a model named hessence, in which a non-canonical complex scalar field plays
the role of dark energy. In this work, the cosmological evolution of the
hessence dark energy is investigated. We consider two cases: one is the
hessnece field with an exponential potential, and the other is with a
(inverse) power law potential. We separately investigate the dynamical
system with four different interaction forms between hessence and background
perfect fluid. It is found that the big rip never appears in the hessence
model, even in the most general case, beyond particular potentials and
interaction forms.
