Anthurium plant `A7`

Abstract

A new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium is provided. It is a medium to large size plant, suitable for production in 15 cm to 25 cm pots from a single tissue culture produced microcutting with vigorous growth, early and year-round flowering. Striking, large, red, glossy spathes are carried on thick, strong, distally red-brown peduncles mostly above foliage and sharply contrast with dark green, glossy, large, thick leaves.

I claim:
