Whispering Love

Anthurium Whispering Love has upright heart-shaped spathes in green and white, each one marbled and streaked, with a bright yellow spadix standing at the front. The leaves are deep green, heart-shaped and semi-glossy, on slim upright stalks.

Growth & size

New leaves and flower stems come up together from a central base on long stalks, with a bloom turning up between every few leaves. The green and white spathes last for weeks and deepen in colour as they age. Indoors it gets to around 40 to 50cm tall and about the same across. It flowers through most of the year in a warm room.

A green and white flower

Instead of one solid colour, each spathe is marbled in green and white, closer to a leaf than a typical flower. Cut spent stems back to the base to keep new ones coming.

Toxic to cats, dogs and people if eaten. Contains calcium oxalate crystals. Comes in a 14cm plastic nursery pot.
