Ctenanthe burle-marxii ‘Amagris’

Description

With striking foliage like this, it comes as no surprise that the Ctenanthe burle-marxii makes up part of the Marantaceae family, which also includes Calatheas, Marantas and Stromanthes, or as we like to refer to them – nature’s artworks. With grey-green leaves flanked with a dark green fishbone pattern, it certainly holds its own when it comes to the family portrait.
