Interiorscapers have a more limited selection, and I\u2019ve always envied the outdoor choices. However, in the past few years interior growers have developed new hybrids from old favorites.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a few colorful indoor plant hybrids that hold up just as well as the original variations to create unique looks for your interiorscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ZZ Raven<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my latest discoveries is the new ZZ or zamifolia zamioculcas. A black hue of the dark green ZZ is color you never see from a plant unless it\u2019s completely dead.\u00a0 Just as hardy as the original zz, the Raven zamifolia creates a very unusual contrast to an interiorscape design.\u00a0 Especially if it\u2019s paired with a bright orange, yellow croton, which brings me to another new favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Croton Zanzibar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the common croton petra with its bright red, orange and yellow shades will bring variety to a design, the Zanzibar hybrid reminds me of a fireworks display with its elongated leaves and showy red, gold, green and purple colors.\u00a0 It tolerates lower light well and has a much more exotic appearance than your ordinary croton.\u00a0 Unlike the straight stocks of most croton varieties, this hybrid has thin, unique curving stocks much like a marginata exotica.\u00a0 If your client wants a showy display of colorful indoor plants, this is a great plant to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunshine Marginata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of marginata, I recently came across a new hybrid that has bright yellow and green striped leaves.\u00a0 I\u2019ve often used the tri-color or colorama marginata tips with the deep red, white and green striped foliage. However, this variety is much brighter with its wide gold center. This hybrid holds up just as well as the other varieties with the exception of dryness.\u00a0 The foliage will wilt quicker if the soil gets dry so maintaining a consistent moisture level will keep the leaves at the proper level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aglaonemas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aglaonemas have always been an interiorscape staple with their hardiness, low light tolerance and big wide foliage.&nbsp; There\u2019s always been a wide selection of varieties from the dark green striped narrow leafed marias to the wide silverish green silver bay.&nbsp; After that, came the red-leafed siam and siam aurora. Lately, I\u2019ve seen a whole variation of pink and yellowish shades that remind me of the flashy poinsettia hybrids like pink ice.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newprocontainers.com\/blog\/fun-facts-about-the-poinsettia\/\">poinsettias<\/a>, these aglaonemas hold up wonderfully with indirect light and will brighten up any space. One of my favorites is the legacy and anyamanee pink.\u00a0 The down side of these new hybrids are the availability and size.\u00a0 The six inch container is often the only size you can find with the occasional eight or ten inch pot.\u00a0 I\u2019m assuming this is due to the slow growth rate. With any hybrid, there usually is some difficulty in propagation.\u00a0 If you want low maintenance with a splash of color, this is the plant to use.\u00a0 It seems each legacy has its own unique pattern and I never get tired of admiring the artistry of their leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though interiorscapers may not have as many colorful plants as compared to our exterior landscaper counterparts, these hybrids offer new options. What are some of your favorite colorful indoor plants to use in interiorscape designs?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finding unique colorful foliage that will survive interior conditions has always been a challenge.\u00a0 In landscape design, there\u2019s a wide range of different shades, shapes and sizes of beautiful ornamental foliage to design with.
