Colocasia
‘Madeira Star’
Colocasia 'Madeira Star' from breeder Brian Williams is a stunning selection with dark matte black heart shaped foliage with a pink to hot pink center mid-rib and veins that is brighter when placed in full sun. 'Madeira Star' has leaves that can emerge emerald-green with a muted pink palate especially if grown in partial sun. Colocasia are great at creating a tropical feel in the garden or pool side as well as adding movement, texture and bold leaves to the garden. The flower is typically hidden by the foliage and is not very showy. Deer and rabbit resistant. Photo courtesy of Brian Williams at Brian's Botanicals.
