SYNGONIUM PODOPHYLLUM 'BOLD'

Cultivar

CULTIVAR DESCRIPTION:

The largest-leaved of the 28 cultivars in the 1993 Florida trial, an intermediate-habit plant with green to gray-green foliage and silver-yellow veins.¹

NOTES:

1. Unconfirmed: Hatch lists a 'Bold Tetra' with yellow to cream veins covering up to 70 percent of a very wide blade.²

2. Uncertain identity: The photograph shows a plant sold as 'Bold Tetra' in a Florida wholesale catalogue. That 'Bold Tetra' and 'Bold' are the same cultivar has not been confirmed.
