Anthurium ‘Delta Force’ is a rare hybrid cultivar within the velvet-leaf group of Anthuriums, often admired for its dramatic foliage and collector appeal. It combines traits from large-leaved species such as Anthurium regale and Anthurium warocqueanum, resulting in bold, elongated leaves with strong venation and a velvety texture. The leaves are typically dark green with pronounced silver-white veins, giving them a striking architectural presence. Because of its hybrid vigor, ‘Delta Force’ tends to be more resilient than some of its parent species, making it a desirable choice for enthusiasts who want the look of regal velvet Anthuriums with slightly easier care.
