Green Leaves

Introducing Chroma ‘Abidjan’, named after the vibrant city on the Ivory Coast. This Rubber Plant has sleek, ovate-shaped leaves that are so dark green, they are almost ebony. Leaves contrast with the protective red sheaths on emerging growth; midribs also display hints of red. A little leaf shine will keep your ‘Abidjan’ as striking and sophisticated as its namesake city.

Begonia maculata ‘Obsidian’ rocks a look as sharp as the volcanic glass it is named after. This dark, dramatic cane begonia flaunts asymmetrical, wing-shaped leaves of nearly black, growing atop bamboo-like shoots. Leaves have ruffled, serrated edges, and reddish undersides, which contrast strikingly with their dark green uppers. Like other “Angel Wing” or “Polka Dot” begonias, ‘Obsidian’ is spotted with silvery speckling. 

One look at this white-veined Fittonia and you’ll be able to see where the common name “nerve plant” comes from. Like other nerve plants, ‘World Views’ features low-growing, creeping foliage with oval-shaped green leaves that have the distinctive veining one would expect to see on an anatomy diagram of the nervous system.

If it bleeds, it leads–and this crimson-veined fittonia is sure to be the ‘Breaking News’ in your collection! ’Breaking News’ has heavy red veining that really pops in contrast to the dark green leaf margins. The ovate leaves have edges that are ever-so-slightly ruffled. Like other nerve plants, ‘Breaking News’ will stay relatively compact and creep in a low-growing habit.

Reach for the stars with Bold Belles® 'Ginny Galaxy' (Begonia), a rare, collector-worthy cane begonia scattered with its own little cosmos. Wing-shaped leaves are held upright on slender, bamboo-like canes and splashed in green, pink, and cream — a swirl of color like a galaxy caught mid-spin. Bold and undeniably glamorous, 'Ginny Galaxy' makes a statement in bright, indirect light, out of harsh midday sun, and likes to dry out a bit between waterings. Give this celestial beauty a place of honor and watch her light up your collection.

You’ll be sure to enjoy the low maintenance splendor that befalls BeautiFall® N'Joy Pothos. N'Joy has heavy cream-colored variegation on green leaves, much more pronounced that the marbling one might find on BeautiFall ‘Snowy Morning.’ Leaves on N'Joy are also spade-shaped, but slightly smaller and thinner than those of a typical pothos. For the most well-defined display of ‘N’Joy’s’ white margins, place her in bright, indirect light. Enjoy!

Also known as dracaena trifasciata, sansevieria trifasciata or mother-in-law's tongue, snake plants are native to tropical West Africa. Because they store water in their leaves, they're virtually indestructible. These popular, low-maintenance plants grow slowly and, depending on the variety, can reach anywhere from eight inches to 12 feet with proper care.

Named after Vang Vieng, Laos, where it was discovered growing epiphytically in the humid shade of limestone mountains, is another rare hoya–Hoya vangviengiensis. Try saying that name five times fast! ‘Vangviengiensis’ has thick, succulent leaves of solid, glossy green. Leaves are coated in a delicate layer of peach fuzz, making them smooth to touch. If given the proper conditions, ‘Vangviengiensis’ will send out fragrant, fuzzy flowers of pearlescent white. Like other hoyas, this hoya is a climber and should be given a hoop or some other trellis structure to twine around.

‘Current News’ will grab your attention with its dramatic, low-growing foliage. Leaves are very dark green with heavy magenta-pink veining. Leaves have serrated, ruffled edges. ‘Current News’ will provide a pretty pop of pink in a terrarium or under cloche.

Step into the wild with ‘African Jungle’, a rex begonia with mounding, clumping leaves that capture all the vibrance of a sub-saharan rainforest. Each asymmetrical, deeply-serrated leaf is a riot of color, with plum-to-purple centers, shimmering splashes of silver & lavender, and rich green margins, edged in more purple. Red stems and under-veining also add another pop of color and dimension.
