The newest Anthuriums for cut flowers

Marea

Marea is a special tulip-shaped flower with a vintage colour combination. The flower’s basic colour is green but this changes to pink over its vase life. The vintage look is provided by its darker pink veins. A flower diameter of around 13 cm makes it ideal for use in bouquets!

Kaseko

Anthura, its producer, was inspired to name this cheerful Anthurium after Kaseko, a musical form that sprouted from New Orleans Jazz combined with South American music and Calypso. Kaseko is a variety with especially unusual flower shapes. Its stunning two-tone flowers display a fresh yellow/green colour combination with a pink/red lip which is also repeated in the colour of the spadix. The diameter of the flower averages 13-15 cm. Kaseko’s motto? Keep on dancing!

Aspire

The popular white Anthurium varieties have now been joined by a truly elegant cultivar! The snow-white colour and green spadix of Aspire give it a very fresh look. Its beautifully shaped flowers have a diameter of 13 – 15 cm.

Impulz

Impulz has raspberry-red flowers and a spadix in the same spectacular colour. The flower has a beautiful natural shine that makes it look – and feel – extra special. The Impulz variety has a flower diameter of 13-15 cm.

Showtime

Showtime was inspired by the world of glitter and glamour. Its intensely attractive gloss, almost black colour, and white spadix with a green tip are definitely enough to steal the show! This variety is a perfect fit for expressing ‘Punk Rebooted‘ a trend presented by Flower Council Holland which, in terms of interior design, means a rugged look for indoor spaces, products displaying crisply defined shapes, unpolished industrial materials, and contrasting colours with lots of black and red used as a statement. Showtime will definitely be playing a leading role in this trend in 2018.
