The Black Dragon has the most awesome dark upright leaves stunningly black! Anthurium Black Dragon is a rare, exotic hybrid known for its deep, dark foliage that looks almost painted in ink. A standout in the "dark foliage" group, it's prized by collectors for its dramatic, gothic beauty. Its leaves shift from greenish-maroon in low light to nearly jet black in bright filtered light, offering ever-changing display. Instead of bright flowers, it features a sleek brown spadix and spathe, followed by eye-catching red berries. Though it looks otherworldly, this tropical plant is surprisingly tough and grows steadily with the right humidity. A true collector's hybrid, not found in the wild.
