Anthurium 'Alexa Allure'

Common Name:
Flamingo Flower / Laceleaf

Description:
Anthurium 'Alexa Allure' is a striking cultivar of the popular Flamingo Flower, grown for its glossy, heart-shaped spathes and bold tropical foliage. With vivid blooms in shades of deep pink to magenta and a prominent yellow spadix, 'Alexa Allure' is a standout choice for adding a pop of colour to indoor spaces. Originating from tropical Central and South America, anthuriums thrive in Melbourne interiors when provided with bright, filtered light and high humidity. 'Alexa Allure' prefers free-draining, peat-rich soil and regular watering, with the soil kept slightly moist but never soggy. This cultivar produces flowers intermittently throughout the year under stable indoor conditions, with peak flowering often in spring and summer. Its compact habit and long-lasting flowers make it ideal for decorative pots, and it is widely appreciated as a low-maintenance indoor flowering plant with high ornamental value.
