Plant hearts in variety of London Pride (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

philodendron

'plant' is the definition.
The answer is an example.

'hearts in variety of london pride' is the wordplay.
'hearts' becomes 'h' (abbreviation used in card games e.g. bridge).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'london'+'pride'='londonpride'
'londonpride' anagrammed gives 'pilodendron'.
'h' inserted inside 'pilodendron' is 'PHILODENDRON'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
