The Anthurium Red Flamingo Flower, botanically known simply as Anthurium, is a striking tropical plant prized for its vibrant red spathes (often mistaken for flowers) and deep green, heart-shaped foliage. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, this plant has become a favourite for modern interiors thanks to its bold colour, long-lasting blooms, and minimal maintenance requirements.
The red "flowers" are actually modified leaves called spathes that surround a central spadix. These stay vibrant for weeks, if not months, making the Anthurium an excellent choice for those seeking lasting, impactful colour. The glossy green leaves add contrast and form, creating a lush, sculptural element for any room.
Your Anthurium Red Flamingo Flower is supplied in a 12cm nursery pot, perfect for windowsills, plant shelves, or decorative planters. This compact size allows easy placement throughout the home, especially in spots that receive bright, indirect light such as near east- or north-facing windows.
At full maturity, Anthuriums can reach an approximate height of 40–60 cm (16–24 inches) and a spread of 30–40 cm (12–16 inches), although size will vary depending on growing conditions. The current size on arrival is around 25–35 cm in height, including the pot.
