The kind of plant we almost kept. This exact juvenile Anthurium ‘Ace of Purple’ × ‘Crystal Aurea’ is beginning to show why, with a newest velvet leaf in luminous olive-lime, warm rose-toned veins, an elongated tip, and a red-toned growth point.
One parent was a variegated Crystal Aurea. The exact plant offered has not displayed variegation and is being sold as non-variegated. Variegation is not guaranteed to appear in future growth.
Three leaves are currently visible, with the newest leaf showing a noticeably different shape and color from the older foliage. The plant pictured is the exact plant you will receive.
