Notes
Anthurium (Anthurium crassinervium) is a perennial for containers, tropical gardens, and houseplant collections. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It reaches 60 to 72 inches tall and spreads 48 to 72 inches, so give it room. The spathe is green to purple and surrounds a purple spadix.
Pairs well with Mandevilla, Cape leadwort, and Flame lily.
