New leaves arrive in a blush of pink before the velvet darkens. Anthurium crystallinum 'Silver Blush' carries all the qualities that make the species so desirable, with large, heart-shaped, velvety leaves and luminous silver-white veining, but adds a distinctive pink tone to its emerging foliage. As each new leaf unfurls in warm pink or rose it gradually transitions to the deep green velvet of the mature form. The plant carries leaves at multiple stages at once, mixing pink new growth with dark, silver-veined older foliage. A terrestrial, non-climbing Anthurium that stays compact.

Origins
Anthurium crystallinum is native to the rainforests of Panama, Colombia, and Peru, growing terrestrially on shaded forest floors. 'Silver Blush' is selected for the intensity of pink colouring in its emerging leaves.
