This beautiful hybrid from the hand of the late Jim Elmore is a cultivar of cruenta (rubra) x chlorosticta Hyb. #418'. Trying to achieve colorful plants that do not need to be in bloom to be at their best, this is one of his success stories. A medium to large green plant with a symmetrical shape of stiff leaves, bearing a net-like pattern of red. The mottled pattern is very evident, but very delicate.
