Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' Morphology
About Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts'
Anthurium 'Queen of Hearts' produces broad, glossy, near-black cordate leaves with a distinct heart-shaped outline and a well-defined sinus, giving each leaf a smoother, more rounded silhouette than the narrower-leaved 'Ace of Spades' it's often compared to. Venation is minimal and largely absorbed into the dark, glossy surface, so the plant reads as a solid, deep, near-black shape rather than a patterned one. Despite an unusually thin paper trail for such a widely circulated name, it is one of the most heavily traded named Anthurium hybrids currently on the market, appearing consistently across specialist retailers on both sides of the Atlantic.

Before You Buy
Species-specific things to check when evaluating a listing
- Don't pay a premium for a claimed link to 'Ace of Spades'; this couldn't be independently confirmed, despite it being widely repeated by sellers
- Check the leaf shows a well-defined sinus and rounded heart-shaped outline in photos, distinguishing it from the narrower-leaved 'Ace of Spades' it's often compared to
- Confirm the surface reads as glossy velvet with minimal visible venation; a leaf with prominent contrasting veins may be a different named hybrid
- At this price tier, given how widely this name circulates, buy from a seller who can show the whole plant and root system, not a single flattering leaf photo

Trade Volume Without a Paper Trail
Queen of Hearts is one of the odder cases I track: it's genuinely one of the most consistently available named velvet hybrids across specialist retailers right now, yet I couldn't find a firm, independently documented account of its exact origin: only a consistent thread pointing back to Silver Krome Gardens in Homestead, Florida, and a widely repeated (but unconfirmed) association with 'Ace of Spades'. High trade volume isn't the same as a settled record, and this is a case where the two have clearly diverged. Buy it for the leaf, not the backstory, until a firmer source turns up.
