About

Anthurium 'King of Spades' is a velvet-leaf hybrid bred to combine the broad, spade-shaped blade of its rosette-forming parentage with a deep, matte velvet finish. New leaves emerge with a bronze-red flush before settling into a near-black green, set off by pale, sunken primary veins that stand out sharply against the dark surface. Its upright, self-heading habit and manageable size have made it a popular hybrid for collectors who want the presence of a large velvet species like warocqueanum without quite the same footprint or humidity demands.
