ANTHURIUM FLOWERS

Anthurium andreanum
Description: Originating in the rainforests of Colombia, South America. Anthurium andreanum is an important floricultural crop grown in many parts of the world in warmer climates for cut flower production and plant sales. The current varieties available are far removed from the original species having undergone many years of breeding and selection. Varieties are available in shades of red and  pink and white and with large flowers. Plants raised from seed exhibit variations in colour shape and size of the flower. The most colourful part of the flower is the spathe.
Anthurium andreanum makes an excellent pot plant with glossy green leaves and flowers held on tall petioles. Requires warm growing conditions. Excellent for cut flower use with a long vase life.

Red Rocket
Our newest Anthurium, ‘Red Rocket’ is graced with beautiful large dark red flowers with a contrasting white spadix held above glossy, dark green foliage. The rich flower color is maintained even during hot summer months with little fading. Red Rocket shows good disease resistance under south Florida conditions. Perfect for 8 to 10” pot production. Let ‘Red Rocket’ put some dollars in your pocket.

Sangria
Sangria' has rich, dark red spathes that are resistant to fading, even under the stress of summer heat. The white spadix (nose) provides a high visual contrast of beauty. These flowers are abundant and displayed just above the foliage, reducing height specifications that increase box and freight efficiencies. The foliage is tough and new leaves emerge a shiny bronze color.
Sangria's bold look has good proportions allowing for flowering presentations in 6 through 10 inch containers.

Hawaian
Description: Hawaiian Volcano Plants™ are distinctive plants which are planted and grown on hand selected volcanic cinder, blessed by a Kahuna (a spiritual leader of the Hawaiian community) to bring joy and prosperity to those who possess them. This particular volcanic mineral was produced during a 1955 eruption of Kilauea Volcano on the island of Hawaii. Each rock is unique and original and provides an excellent habitat for growing exotic plants. These anthurium plants have been specially hybridized for use as houseplants due to their trouble free growing requirements. They will continue to flower with proper growing conditions and will hold their flowers for a long time. Their flamingo-pink flowers compliment their glossy, dark-green foliage.
