Colocasia 'Madeira'

An edible colocasia with abundant purple foliage that may be cultivated in sun to part shade. Light shade will provoke the plant to produce intense green leaves that then turn purple, a nice effect. A hardy plant is not cultivated in water. As with all colocasias, this one needs a large amount of humus and organic mazterial to do well. Height to 120 cm+.
