Introducing this unique commodity, known to houseplant enthusiasts as the Velvet Calathea or Furry Leaf Calathea. This plant offers a sensory experience unlike any other houseplant you own!
Its deep green, ripple-edged leaves aren't just beautiful to look at; they are covered in a fine, soft fuzz - a rare texture in the plant world.
Whether potted indoors or planted out in the garden, these Calatheas multiply and spread rapidly under the right growing conditions. The pictures include the actual plant on sale, as well as our outdoor mother plants, both potted and ground grown.
