Ctenanthe burle-marxii 'Amagris'

The Ctenanthe burle marxii Amagris is slow growing with pale grey-green, oval leaves and dramatic dark green curving stripes. The leaves are wonderfully offset by a deep purple stem and leaf underside. Ctenanthe Amagris leaves close upwards at night like other prayer-plants. As with the Amabilis it is also commonly referred to as the Never Never Plant and Fishbone Plant.
