Black Widow Hypoestes - 4" Pot

Hypoestes phyllostachya 'Black Widow' is a deep-toned cultivar of the polka dot plant, producing ovate, softly textured leaves in an exceptionally dark burgundy-red that reads nearly black in lower light conditions. The coloring is dense and saturated across the entire blade surface with minimal green, making it one of the darkest selections available in the Hypoestes genus. Growth is compact and bushy, branching readily and building into a full mound over time. Regular pinching keeps the habit tight and encourages dense new growth. Native to Madagascar and non-toxic to pets and people.
