This is the Anthurium for the not so very green thumb. This Mexico native Anthurium is a new discovery by Lester Kallus. Anthurium Oaxaca grows to an impressive 4' height. The climate of it's origin explains how this plant is so wonderfully tolerant of occasional neglect. More drought and cold tolerant than other Anthuriums. Withstanding occasional freezing temperatures. Anthurium Oaxaca makes a stunning houseplant or a wonderful landscape plant. This is an unusually large and attractive Anthurium that has huge heart shaped leaves and large deep pink flowers. New growth is a coppery bronze for 1-2 weeks. A real dazzler!!
