Several decades ago, the original Anthurium ‘Dark & Handsome®’ plant genetics were collegially shared with Dr. Block from a Monroe Birdsey cutting. DocBlock then selected for this cultivar’s chocolate-color new leaf expression against its chartreuse-colored veins. The maturing leaves develop medium-green hues.

‘Dark & Handsome®’ & ‘Red Velvet Cake®’ are two classic DocBlock bred parent Anthuriums that combine to feature purple to red colored hybrids with narrow veins displayed on moderately elongated leaves. The reverse cross ‘Red Velvet Cake®’ X ‘Dark & Handsome®’ hybrids not infrequently look different than their “first” cousins.

Each plant comes with Dr. Block’s tag featuring a QR code for more care details.
