Calathea crocata is an upright tropical that forms a showy clump of two-tone leaves in green and maroon. Gorgeous, bright saffron colored flower clusters emerge above the foliage like torches.
Calatheas grow best in an evenly moist, well-drained soil. Feed with a slow-release fertilizer at planting. Beautiful accent for borders, containers or as houseplants. Protect from frost!
