Anthurium Swampmannii #1 x Variegated Crystal Mag (A27)

🌿 Anthurium 'Swampmannii #1' × Variegated 'Crystal Mag'

This standout cross pairs the robust, upright form and rich velvet of Anthurium 'Swampmannii #1' with the striking marbled variegation and silver veining of the Variegated Crystal Mag line. Seedlings from this cross are expected to show dramatic foliage with a potential for bold cream-to-yellow variegation overlaid on velvet backgrounds.

🍁 Emergent Leaf Coloration

Emergent foliage on the Swampmannii side displays a deep bronze to burgundy flush, often with a silvery overlay and red-toned petioles. On variegated individuals, the emergent leaves may appear bright lemon yellow or pale chartreuse, with white or marbled cream venation already visible at early stages. As leaves mature, they deepen into velvety greens with pronounced contrast.

🪴 Stature & Form

Expect medium to large leaves with a defined heart shape, subtle lobing, and upright, firm petioles. The Swampmannii #1 influence contributes a rounded shield-like posture, while Crystal Mag adds clarity of venation and potential for sectoral or marbled variegation. Some offspring may exhibit mild cupping or blistered texture depending on environmental conditions.

🌱 Breeding Notes

Swampmannii #1 is a selected form known for its consistent form, uniform velvet, and vigor in hybrid combinations. The pollen donor, a variegated form of Crystal Mag, is derived from a magnificum × crystallinum hybrid line with spontaneous marbled variegation. This cross offers both structural interest and a chance at producing stable variegated offspring. While variegation may vary among seedlings, the pairing prioritizes leaf integrity, contrast, and collector appeal.
