Purple Anthurium is a striking tropical bloom, known for its glossy, heart-shaped spathes in deep violet to rich purple hues, paired with a contrasting yellow to cream spadix.

HISTORY

Anthuriums are native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, with Ecuador being a major producer of commercial cut flowers due to its ideal highland conditions. Purple cultivars are a relatively recent development, bred to expand the color palette beyond traditional reds, pinks, and whites. These varieties combine vibrant coloration with longer vase life and durability, making them popular in luxury floral designs and tropical-inspired arrangements.

Climate: Humid, tropical highland climates

GROWING CONDITIONS

Well-draining, organic-rich soil is essential. The plant prefers filtered or indirect sunlight, regular watering, and high humidity to prevent browning edges. Nutrient-rich fertilizer during active growth supports vibrant color and long-lasting blooms.

Symbol: Admiration, luxury, and exotic beauty

USES

Purple Anthurium is ideal for modern bouquets, tropical arrangements, and high-impact centerpieces. Its bold form pairs beautifully with green foliage, lighter pastel blooms, or other tropical flowers to create contrast. It is also commonly used in corporate or event designs where visual impact and elegance are key. Its long-lasting nature makes it perfect for both single-stem displays and large, statement arrangements.
