Anthurium ‘Dakota’

A bold classic flamingo flower with oversized vivid-red blooms and tropical elegance.

Genus: Anthurium

Anthurium ‘Dakota’ is a striking flowering tropical known for its large, intensely vivid red spathes and clean, elegant presentation. This variety delivers the timeless flamingo-flower appearance people love, but with especially bold coloration and oversized blooms that stand beautifully above the foliage.

The glossy green leaves create a perfect contrast against the vibrant flowers, making this plant feel lush, tropical, and full of life year-round. Its upright structure and continuous blooming habit make it an excellent centerpiece plant for indoor décor, shaded patios, tropical landscapes, or collector collections.

Anthuriums are highly valued for their long-lasting blooms, and ‘Dakota’ is no exception. Mature plants can flower repeatedly throughout the year under warm, bright conditions, rewarding growers with months of tropical color and elegance.

☀️ Light Requirements

Prefers bright indirect light or filtered sunlight. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, especially indoors, as it may scorch the leaves and blooms.

💧 Watering

Water when the top portion of the soil begins to dry slightly. Anthuriums appreciate evenly moist soil but should never remain soggy. Good drainage is essential.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in warm tropical temperatures between 65–90°F with moderate to high humidity. Higher humidity encourages healthier foliage and longer-lasting blooms.

🌱 Soil & Potting Mix

Use a chunky, well-draining tropical mix rich in aeration. Orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, and quality potting media work very well for Anthuriums.

🪴 Growth Habit

Upright tropical flowering plant with large decorative blooms and glossy foliage. Excellent as a statement tabletop or floor-display plant depending on maturity.

🌺 Collector Note: Anthurium ‘Dakota’ is loved for its extra-large vivid-red blooms and classic tropical appearance. A timeless variety that delivers strong color, elegant structure, and long-lasting flowers with an unmistakably lush tropical feel.
