SCIENTIFIC NAME: Goeppertia roseopicta 'Surprisestar'

 KNOWN AS: Surprise Star Calathea, Calathea Surprise Star

CLIMATE (LOCATION): South America | Tropical Rainforest

DESCRIPTION: The Surprise Star is one of the most dramatic "dark-mode" plants in the world. It features large, rounded, nearly black-to-deep-purple leaves. The "surprise" is the shocking, electric pink halo that outlines the leaf, with a bright pink midrib shooting up the center. As the leaf matures, the neon pink turns to a subtle silvery-rose, but the deep, velvety dark centers remain.
