Product Details

Item shown on screen - The Colocasia 'Pharaoh’s Mask' is a highly coveted, show-stopping elephant ear hybrid prized for its incredible three-dimensional foliage. It features large, bright green, arrow-shaped leaves with heavily accentuated, bulging dark purple-to-black veins that pop out from the surface. As the plant matures, the margins of the leaves curve under, beautifully mimicking the structure of an ancient Egyptian masquerade mask.Supported by sturdy dark stems that match the rich color of the veins, this fast-growing clumping perennial reaches an impressive 3 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Light: Best in part sun to filtered shade. While it can tolerate full sun in highly humid environments, intense afternoon sun may scorch the leaves. Water: High water requirement. Colocasias are swamp-loving plants and thrive in muddy, boggy conditions. For potted plants, keep the soil consistently wet, or leave in a shallow water tray.
