About

Anthurium forgetii × crystallinum is a cultivated horticultural hybrid combining two of the most celebrated velvet anthuriums in the hobby. From the forgetii parent it inherits the distinctive reduced to nearly closed sinus — that rounded, almost seamless base where the two leaf lobes meet — and from crystallinum it draws the striking silvery-white primary venation that fans across the velvety deep green blade with impressive clarity. The result is a compact, self-heading plant with broad, rounded cordate leaves that combine the best visual qualities of both parents in a single, manageable specimen. Among the intermediate velvet anthurium hybrids, forgetii × crystallinum is widely regarded as one of the most elegant and visually satisfying crosses, offering the impact of both parents without the demanding care requirements of the most extreme species.

How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
