Colocasia Redemption™
Black leaves with a neon pink blotch.
Breeders often throw away thousands of seedlings before they find one that is worthy of introduction. This new Colocasia from breeder friend Brian Williams will make up for all of those that never made it to stardom. Rippled, shiny leaves emerge green and quickly turn black with the help of the sun. As the leaves mature, a neon-pink blotch forms, growing larger and radiating outward like a bright pink starburst in the center of each leaf. Redemption™ is going to blow your mind! Tight clumps mature at 3-4’, offering limitless application in a garden setting, in containers, and near the water’s edge.
