Anthurium Velvet Nuts – Original Offset

Anthurium Circus Peanuts × BVEP / Antolakii

(AKA Anthurium Velvet Nuts – Original Offset - you can see Scott’s Velvet Nuts tag in the last picture)

We’re delighted to offer a rare offset of Scott Cohen’s original Velvet Nuts – a hybrid that has already become a legend among serious Anthurium collectors. This exact plant, shown in the pictures, is a two-leaf offset; the second leaf has unfurled since the offset was repotted, showing healthy and vigorous growth.

Parentage & Origins

Before diving into Velvet Nuts itself, let’s explore the unique lineage that makes this hybrid so special:

• Anthurium Circus Peanuts (a.k.a. Mike’s Goliath): A cross between Anthurium dresslerii × Anthurium versicolor, renowned for its large, bold leaves that emerge in a stunning coppery bronze. To add to its charm, Circus Peanuts produces an inflorescence with a banana-like scent, reminiscent of the quirky candy it was named after.
• Anthurium BVEP / Antolakii: Known for its velvety foliage and robust growth, this lineage adds texture, depth, and resilience to its hybrids.

Enter Anthurium Velvet Nuts

When Scott Cohen crossed Circus Peanuts with BVEP / Antolakii, the result was Velvet Nuts – a hybrid that embodies the best of both parents. With Circus Peanuts’ dramatic form and bronzed emergents, paired with BVEP’s velvety depth, Velvet Nuts offers:

• Striking velvety leaves with rich colouring
• Coppery-bronze emergents that deepen with maturity
• A delightful banana-like aroma from its inflorescence
• The vigor and reliability that make it a joy to grow

This plant is not just another Anthurium hybrid – it’s a conversation piece, a collector’s gem, and a living slice of modern hybrid history.
