Crossandra infundibuliformis 'Fortuna'

The Crossandra infundibuliformis 'Fortuna' is a stunning and vibrant plant that is sure to catch the eye of any plant enthusiast. With its pointed/acute leaf tips and single flower type, this Crossandra variety is truly unique. The undulate leaf margin adds an interesting texture to the plant, making it stand out even more.

One notable characteristic of this Crossandra is its unscented flowers. Although they may lack a fragrance, their striking orange-orange red color (specifically known as 032B in the color chart) more than makes up for it. The flowers are relatively small, with a diameter ranging from 2.5 to 3 cm.

When it comes to the plant's overall appearance, the leaves play a crucial role. The oval-shaped leaves, around 7.5 to 10 cm in size, have a glossy surface and are slightly bullate, giving them a unique texture. The main color of the leaves is a rich dark green, providing a beautiful contrast to the vibrant orange-red flowers.

The 'Fortuna' variety of Crossandra has a spike-like inflorescence, with branching that adds volume and elegance to the plant. This arrangement allows for multiple flowers to bloom, creating a visually stunning display.

What makes this Crossandra even more desirable is its unicolored flower color distribution. The entire flower is adorned in the same striking orange-red hue, creating a bold and cohesive look.

As a tropical plant, the Crossandra infundibuliformis 'Fortuna' thrives in warm climates and requires a moderate amount of sunlight to flourish. It is a perfect choice for adding a pop of color to gardens, borders, or even indoor spaces.

Whether placed in a pot or planted in the ground, this Crossandra will surely bring a touch of exotic beauty wherever it is showcased. Its unique features, from the pointed leaf tips and undulate margins to the glossy, oval-shaped leaves and vibrant orange-red flowers, make it an exquisite addition to any plant collection.
